The American Crow, Corvus brachyrhynchos, is a large passerine bird species of the Corvidae family. It is a common bird found throughout much of North America. It is one of several species of corvid which are entirely black in color, though it can be distinguished from the Common Raven on size and Fish Crow on call and distribution.

Though American Crows are common, widespread and adaptable, they are under threat from the West Nile Virus.
