Storm petrel
Storm-petrel may refer to one of two bird families, both in the order Procellariiformes, once treated as the same family.
European Storm-petrels of the family Hydrobatidae.
Wilson's Storm-petrel, of the family Oceanitidae.
The two families are:
- Northern Storm-petrels (Hydrobatidae) are found in the Northern Hemisphere, although some species around the Equator dip into the south.

| Fork-tailed Storm-petrel | Hydrobates furcatus | LC | |
| Ringed or Hornby's Storm-petrel | Hydrobates hornbyi | NT | |
| Leach's Storm-petrel | Hydrobates leucorhous | LC | |
| Townsend's Storm-petrel | Hydrobates socorroensis | EN | |
| Ainley's Storm-petrel | Hydrobates cheimomnestes | VU | |
| Swinhoe's Storm-petrel | Hydrobates monorhis | NT | |

| Wedge-rumped Storm-petrel | Hydrobates tethys | LC | |
| Black Storm-petrel | Hydrobates melania | LC | |
| Guadalupe Storm-petrel | Hydrobates macrodactyla | CR (Probably Extinct) | |
| Markham's Storm-petrel | Hydrobates markhami | NT | |
| Matsudaira's Storm-petrel | Hydrobates matsudairae | VU | |
| Tristram's Storm-petrel | Hydrobates tristrami | LC | |
| Least Storm-petrel | Hydrobates microsoma | LC |
- Southern Storm-petrels (Oceanitidae) are found in all oceans, although only White-faced Storm-petrels (breeding in the North Atlantic, in addition to the Southern Ocean) and Wilson's Storm-petrels (on migration) are found in the Northern Hemisphere.
| Subfamily | Common name | Scientific name | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oceanitinae | Wilson's Storm-petrel | Oceanites oceanicus | LC |
| Pincoya Storm-petrel | Oceanites pincoyae | DD | |
| Elliot's Storm-petrel | Oceanites gracilis | DD | |
| Fuegian Storm-petrel (recently considered its own species based on morphological differences and geographical isolation from O. oceanicus) | Oceanites (oceanicus) chilensis | DD | |
| Grey-backed Storm-petrel | Garrodia nereis | LC | |
| White-faced Storm-petrel | Pelagodroma marina | LC | |
| White-bellied Storm-petrel | Fregetta grallaria | LC | |
| New Zealand Storm-petrel | Fregetta maoriana | CR | |
| Black-bellied Storm-petrel or Gould's Storm-petrel | Fregetta tropica | LC | |
| Titan Storm-petrel (considered separate chiefly due to unique reproductive habits, restricted range- breeds only on Rapa- and its larger size) | Fregetta (grallaria) titan | DD | |
| New Caledonian Storm-petrel (regarded as its own species due to many differences from sympatric F. maoriana, such as a notedly longer and more tapering wing shape, and other factors; more research is required) | Fregetta 'undescribed' | DD | |
| Polynesian Storm-petrel (including White-throated Storm-petrel) | Nesofregetta fuliginosa | EN | |
