The Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) is a medium-sized plover. The range of the Killdeer spreads across the Western Hemisphere.

The killdeer is a large plover found in the Americas. It was described and given its current scientific name in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his Systema Naturae. There are three subspecies. The killdeer's common name comes from its often-heard call.

This very common medium-sized plover is resident from northern Mexico throughout the United States and southern Canada. Some of the population migrates north to breed in far northern Canada, and some birds migrate south to winter throughout Central America and northern South America. The apt species name is indicative of its loud, oft-repeated calls.
