The black-headed gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) is a small gull that breeds in much of the Palearctic in Europe and Asia, and also locally in smaller numbers in coastal eastern Canada. Most of the population is migratory and winters further south, but many also remain in the milder areas of northwestern Europe. It was formerly sometimes cited as “common black-headed gull” to distinguish it from “great black-headed gull” (an old name for Pallas’s gull).

The genus name Chroicocephalus is from the Ancient Greek words khroizo, “to colour”, and kephale, “head”. The specific name ridibundus is Latin for “laughing”.
