白肩雕（学名：Aquila heliaca）与金雕非常类似，个头略小，体长为80厘米，翼展为200厘米，属于猛禽家族的鹰科。

白肩雕分布在欧洲东南部、西亚和中亚。西班牙白肩雕（A. adalberti）生活在西班牙和葡萄牙，以前认为和白肩雕是一个物种，如今由于在形态学、生态学和特征的不同被分成两个不同的种类。

冬天，白肩雕迁徙到非洲、印度和中国。欧洲，白肩雕是濒危物种，在它曾经分布的地方如匈牙利和奥地利几近消失。如今欧洲只有潘诺尼亚平原地区白肩雕的数量在上升，主要在匈牙利北部的山区和斯洛伐克南部，其中匈牙利白肩雕的数量约为70-80对。

The eastern imperial eagle (Aquila heliaca) is a large species of bird of prey that breeds from southeastern Europe to western and central Asia. Most populations are migratory and winter in northeastern Africa and southern and eastern Asia. The Spanish imperial eagle found in Spain and Portugal, was formerly lumped with this species, the name imperial eagle being used in both circumstances. However, the two are now regarded as separate species due to significant differences in morphology, ecology and molecular characteristics.
