The Banded Lapwing (Vanellus tricolor) is a small to medium sized wader which belongs to the plover family. It is found over most of Australia and Tasmania though is absent from the northern third of the continent.

There are two species of Lapwing in Australia and one subspecies, the other is the more common Masked Lapwing which is split into Vannellus miles miles and Vanellus miles novaehollandiae.
