Microspizias is a genus of bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. It contains the following species: Tiny hawk (Microspizias superciliosus) Semicollared hawk (Microspizias collaris)
Both species were formerly classified in the genus Accipiter, but a 2021 report, based on earlier research which found them to be strongly phylogenetically distinct, described a new genus (Microspizias) for them. This was also followed by the International Ornithological Congress and the American Ornithological Society.
