From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of the bird species recorded in Vanuatu. The avifauna of Vanuatu include a total of 189 species, of which nine are endemic, and 10 have been introduced by humans.
This list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) follow the conventions of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 2022 edition. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Introduced and accidental species are included in the total counts for Vanuatu.
The following tags have been used to highlight several categories. The commonly occurring native species do not fall into any of these categories.

- (E) Endemic - a species endemic to Vanuatu
- (I) Introduced - a species introduced to Vanuatu as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions
