The '''tree pipit''' ('''''Anthus trivialis''''') is a small [[passerine]] [[bird]] that breeds throughout most of Europe and the [[Palearctic]] as far east as the [[East Siberian Mountains]]. It is a long-distance [[bird migration|migrant]], migrating in winter to Africa and southern Asia. The scientific name is from [[Latin]]: ''anthus'' is the name of a small bird of grasslands, and the specific '' trivialis'' means "common".

The breeding habitat is open woodland and scrub. The nest is placed on the ground and usually 4–6 eggs are laid. This species is insectivorous like its relatives, but will also eat seeds.
