鶴鴕（英語：Cassowary）又稱食火雞，属于鶴鴕目、鶴鴕科、鶴鴕屬（屬名：Casuarius，亦有学者将其划分为鸵鸟目。由馬來文中對南方鶴鴕的稱呼 kasuari 衍生而來）成員的通稱，屬於大型的平胸鳥類，也是鴯鶓的近親，現今主要分布於印尼努沙登加拉群島和摩鹿加群島、新幾內亞島一帶與澳洲東北部的熱帶森林。鶴鴕是雜食性鳥類，主要以落果或生長於低矮樹枝的果實為食，也會取食真菌、無脊椎動物與小型脊椎動物。 鶴鴕喜獨居，生性沉默害羞，警戒性高，在自然棲地中會主動避開人類，受驚時能以高達50公里時速在濃密的森林中竄逃。但同時，鶴鴕亦有領域性，且攻擊性極強。其雙腿粗壯，趾爪長而鋒利，一躍可逾1.5公尺高，能藉由踢腳結合利爪對入侵者與騷擾者造成致命傷害，因此常被冠以「世界上最危險的鳥類」名號。
