Cygnus atratus (Latham, 1790)

黑天鵝（學名：Cygnus atratus）是一種分類上屬於天鵝的大型水鳥（雁鴨科動物），主要在澳洲大陸東南和西南區域繁殖。在澳洲大陸境內，黑天鵝過著遷徙生活，遷徙模式因氣候條件而異。牠們的繁殖模式為單偶模式，且共同孵蛋及育幼。 牠們在1800年代被人們當作觀賞鳥引入全球各地，但成功逃脫人為飼養環境並形成穩定種群。 本物種在1790年由博物學家約翰·萊瑟姆 (John Latham) 進行科學化的描述，在当时被歸入單型屬Chenopis。 黑天鹅有时以家庭为单位生活，有时可形成上百只到上千只的群体。 本物種是西澳州及道利什（Dawlish，屬於英格蘭德文郡）的象徵之一。
