American sparrows are a group of mainly New World passerine birds and form part of the family Emberizidae.

American sparrows are more closely related to Old World buntings (family Emberizidae) than they are to the Old World sparrows (family Passeridae), despite the fact that they share the name sparrow.

American sparrows are similar to finches in both appearance and habit, with which they sometimes used to be grouped. Some emberizid species still carry the finch name.

American sparrows are seed-eating birds with conical bills. Most are striking but subtle birds in shades of brown or gray, and many species have distinctive head patterns.
