The European goldfinch or goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis), is a small passerine bird in the finch family that is native to Europe, North Africa and western Asia. It has been introduced to other areas including Australia, New Zealand and Uruguay.

The Himalayan Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis caniceps) is a sub-species of the European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis carduelis). These two groups merge at their boundary, so the caniceps group is not recognized as a distinct species despite the readily distinguishable plumage. The Himalayan Goldfinch is also often referred to as the Gray-crowned Goldfinch, Grey-crowned Goldfinch or simply Goldfinch.
