The Syrian serin (Serinus syriacus) is a brightly coloured small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae.

The Syrian serin is prettily coloured with bright yellow and pale grey feathers.

They inhabit rocky areas with oak and conifer shrubs or trees and frequent grasslands and fields feeding mainly on the seeds of annuals and grasses.

Males court females with a song display, and each pair builds a nest in a tree once the snow has begun to melt in April or May.

The young fledge after just 14–16 days and the parents then move up to around 1,750 metres in July and August to produce a second clutch.
