El zarapito americano (Numenius americanus) es un ave limícola del género Numenius propia de las costas y humedales de la Norteamérica central y occidental. Sus poblaciones se han reducido mucho desde comienzos de siglo, sobre todo a causa de la caza y de la pérdida de hábitat. Actualmente se estima que hay unos 40.000 ejemplares.
