Harpaginae is a subfamily of the bird of prey family Accipitridae. The species are found in Central and South America.

The subfamily was introduced (as Harpageae) by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854 with Harpagus Vigors, 1824 as the type genus.[1][2]

The genera Microspizias and Harpagus have in the past been placed in a subfamily Milvinae but molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that such a grouping is polyphyletic for Buteoninae.[3][4]
