List of woodpecker species

The International Ornithological Congress (IOC) recognizes these 236 species of woodpeckers which make up the family picidae. They are distributed among 35 genera, six of which have only one species. The family's taxonomy is still unsettled; the Clements taxonomy lists 231 species and Handbook of the Birds of the World lists 255.

This list is presented according to the IOC taxonomic sequence and can also be sorted alphabetically by common name and binomial.
