Tigrisoma is a genus of herons in the family Ardeidae.

The genus was erected by the English naturalist William Swainson in 1827, with the rufescent tiger heron (Tigrisoma lineatum) as the type species.

[1][2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek tigris, meaning "tiger" and sôma, meaning "body".

[3] Three species are placed in the genus:[4] Beautiful in flight, with great markings on the feathers.

Nest mostly resembles a jumbled pile of twigs with openings large enough to allow eggs to fall through occasionally.
