The openbill storks are two species of stork (family Ciconiidae) in the genus Anastomus. They are large wading birds characterized by large bills, the mandibles of which do not meet except at the tip. This feature develops only in the adults. The two species of openbill storks are:
- Asian Openbill Stork (A. oscitans), a resident breeder in tropical southern Asia from India and Sri Lanka east to Southeast Asia.
- African Openbill Stork (A. lamelligerus,) a resident breeder in Africa and Madagascar.
