==Species list in taxonomic sequence==
The taxonomy of family Charadriidae is unsettled. At various times the plovers, dotterels, and lapwings of family Charadriidae have been distributed among several subfamilies, with Charadriinae including most of the species. The [[International Ornithological Congress]] (IOC) and the [[Clements taxonomy]] do not assign species to subfamilies.<ref name=IOC14.2>{{cite web |url=https://www.worldbirdnames.org/new/bow/buttonquail/|title=Buttonquail, thick-knees, sheathbills, plovers, oystercatchers, stilts, painted-snipes, jacanas, Plains-wanderer, seedsnipes |website=IOC World Bird List | version= v 14.2 |last1=Gill |first1= F. |last2=Donsker|first2=D.|last3=Rasmussen |first3=P. |date=August 2024 |access-date=August 20, 2024 }}</ref><ref name="Clements2023">{{Cite web |title=2023 Citation & Downloadable Checklists – Clements Checklist |url=https://www.birds.cornell.edu/clementschecklist/introduction/updateindex/october-2023/download/ |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=www.birds.cornell.edu}}</ref> The South American Classification Committee of the [[American Ornithological Society]] (AOS) includes all of the species in Charadriinae.<ref name="SACClist">{{Cite web |title=South American Classification Committee |url=https://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCBaseline.htm |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=www.museum.lsu.edu}}</ref> The North American Classification Committee of the AOS and [[BirdLife International]]'s ''[[Handbook of the Birds of the World]]'' separate the four members of genus ''Pluvialis'' as subfamily Pluvialinae.<ref name=":1">{{cite journal | last1 = Sangster | first1 = G. | last2 = Knox | first2 = A.

The IOC recognizes these 69 species of plovers, dotterels, and lapwings in family Charadriidae. They are distributed among 11 genera, some of which have only one species. This list is presented according to the IOC taxonomic sequence and can also be sorted alphabetically by common name and binomial.<ref name=IOC14.2/>
