List of duck breeds

This is a list of the breeds of domestic duck which have official recognition at national or international level.

Most breeds of duck derive from the wild mallard, Anas platyrhyncos, while a small minority are descendants of the Muscovy duck, Cairina moschata. Duck breeds are normally officially recognized and described by a national body such as a ministry of agriculture. In some countries they may be recognized by groups of enthusiasts or breeders' associations, which may also draw up a breed standard. Among these are:

• the American Poultry Association in the United States
• the Poultry Club of Great Britain
• the Entente Européenne d'Aviculture et de Cuniculture in Europe
• the Australian Poultry Standards
