The Athi short-toed lark (Alaudala athensis) is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae.

It is found in southern Kenya and northern Tanzania.

[1] The Athi short-toed lark was originally described as belonging to the genus Spizocorys and was then classified as belonging to the genus Calandrella until moved to Alaudala in 2014.

[2][3] Formerly or presently, some authorities consider the Athi short-toed lark as a subspecies of the Somali short-toed lark or of the Mediterranean short-toed lark.

Alternate names for the Athi short-toed lark include the Athi lark and Kenya short-toed lark (a name also used for the Damara pink-billed lark).
