Phoeniconaias is a genus of birds in the flamingo family Phoenicopteridae.

The genus contains one extant species, the lesser flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor), occurring in sub-Saharan Africa and western India,[1] and an extinct species, Phoeniconaias proeses, from the Pliocene of Australia, which is thought to have been even smaller.
