This list is incomprehensive, as not all Ciconiiformes have had their numbers quantified. The classification of this order of birds is currently in flux; the classification for this list is aligned with the IUCN's current position, but may change in the future.

Furthermore, some species currently listed below are no longer considered Ciconiformes; they have been reclassified under Pelecaniformes (e.g. the Black-crowned night heron, listed below). Click the species page for a more definitive classification.
