The  '''redpoll''' ('''''Acanthis flammea''''') is a species of small [[passerine]] bird in the finch family [[Fringillidae]]. It is the only species placed in the genus '''''Acanthis'''''. It breeds in the Arctic and north temperate [[Holarctic]] tundra and [[taiga]]. The redpoll was formerly widely treated as three species: the '''common''' or '''mealy redpoll''', the '''arctic''' or '''hoary redpoll''' (''A. hornemanni''), and the '''lesser redpoll''' (''A. cabaret''). <ref>{{cite web |last1=Funk |first1=Erik |last2=Mason |first2=Nicholas |last3=Pálsson |first3=Snæbjörn |last4=Albrecht |first4=Tomáš |last5=Johnson |first5=Jeff |last6=Taylor |first6=Scott |title=A supergene underlies linked variation in color and morphology in a Holarctic songbird |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-27173-z |website=Nature |access-date=16 April 2025}}</ref>
