Canis familiaris Linnaeus, 1758

Pies domowy (Canis familiaris lub Canis lupus familiaris) – udomowiony gatunek (lub podgatunek) ssaka drapieżnego z rodziny psowatych (Canidae), traktowany przez niektóre ujęcia systematyczne za podgatunek wilka szarego, a przez inne za odrębny gatunek. Od czasu jego udomowienia powstało wiele ras, znacznie różniących się morfologią i cechami użytkowymi. Rasy pierwotne powstawały głównie w wyniku presji środowiskowej. Rasy współczesne uzyskano w wyniku doboru sztucznego. Przez ISSG (Invasive Species Specialist Group) jest uznawany za gatunek inwazyjny.
