Tragopan is a genus of bird in the family Phasianidae. These birds are commonly called "horned pheasants" because of two brightly-colored, fleshy horns on their heads that they can erect during courtship displays. The scientific name refers to this, being a composite of tragus (billy goat) and the ribald half-goat deity Pan (and in the case of the Satyr Tragopan, adding Pan's companions for even more emphasis).

There are five recognized species of Tragopans.

• Western Tragopan Tragopan melanocephalus
• Satyr Tragopan Tragopan satyra
• Temminck's Tragopan Tragopan temminckii
• Blyth's Tragopan Tragopan blythii
• Cabot's Tragopan Tragopan caboti
