Ardenna is a genus of seabirds, in the family Procellariidae, which comprises a group of medium-sized shearwater species. These were for a long time included in Puffinus, but this genus was split based on the results of a phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA.^[1]^[2] The genus had been introduced by Ludwig Reichenbach in 1853,^[3]^[4] although the name was first used to refer to a seabird by Italian naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi in 1603.^[5]

The genus contains these seven living species:^[6]
