}}Haliastur is a genus of medium-sized diurnal birds of prey. It consists of two species of kites which form part of the subfamily Milvinae; some authorities place these species in the genus Milvus,^[1] despite clear differences in behaviour, voice and plumage.^[2]

Species list

Both of the species found in this genus are large for kites; both are relatively small-headed and have rounded tail tips.^[3]

H. indus	Brahminy kite	Sri Lanka, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and southeast Asia and as far south as New South Wales, Australia
H. sphenurus	Whistling kite	Australia (including coastal islands), New Caledonia and much of New Guinea
