The hooded grosbeak (Hesperiphona abeillei) is a passerine bird in the finch family found in the highlands of Central America, principally in Mexico and Guatemala.

The male has a black head and bright yellow upper parts.

[3] The species was briefly described by the French naturalist René Lesson in 1839 under the binomial name Guiraca abaillei.

[5] This genus was introduced by the French ornithologist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1850.

[6] Some authorities place these two grosbeak species together with the hawfinch in the genus Coccothraustes.
