Gracupica is a genus of Asian birds in the family Sturnidae.

The genus Gracupica was introduced in 1831 by the French naturalist René Lesson to accommodate the black-collared starling which is therefore the type species.

[2][3] The genus name combines the Latin graculus meaning "jackdaw" with pica meaning "magpie".

[5] A 2021 study found that G. contra represents a species complex of 3 distinct species formerly thought to be subspecies of G. contra: the Indian pied myna (G. contra sensu stricto) from most of the Indian Subcontinent, Myanmar, and Yunnan in China; the Siamese pied myna (G. floweri) from Thailand and Cambodia, and the possibly extinct in the wild Javan pied myna (G. jalla), historically known from Java and Bali in Indonesia.

[6] The International Ornithological Congress has accepted these results.
