Strix nebulosa J.R.Forster, 1772

Lappuggla (Strix nebulosa) är en uggla som är nästan lika stor som berguven. Den förekommer i tajga cirkumpolärt i norra Nordamerika, Europa och Asien. Arten tros öka globalt och IUCN kategoriserar beståndet som livskraftigt. I Sverige är den dock så pass fåtalig att den klassas som sårbar.
