Calendulauda is a genus of lark in the family Alaudidae. Established by Edward Blyth in 1855, it contains eight species.
==Taxonomy and systematics== The genus Calendulauda was introduced by the English zoologist Edward Blyth in 1855 with the Karoo lark as the type species. The name Calendulauda is a combination of the names of two other lark genera: Calendula and Alauda. All of the species in this genus were formerly assigned to the genus Mirafra and several were also formerly assigned to the genera Alauda and Certhilauda.
