Настоящие ястребы, или просто ястребы (лат. Accipiter) — род хищных птиц из семейства ястребиных (Accipitridae). Это стройные птицы с короткими широкими согнутыми крыльями и длинным прямым хвостом. У них длинные когтистые лапы, которые они используют для умерщвления своей жертвы и острый крючковатый клюв. У взрослых птиц поперечнополосатая окраска нижней стороны тела, верх серый, парящий полёт нехарактерен. Самки у ястребов, как правило, крупнее самцов. Ястребы часто подкарауливают свою жертву из засады на возвышении или с воздуха, после чего молниеносно камнем слетают вниз, хватая её. В основном они питаются мелкими птицами и млекопитающими. Ястребы лесные птицы с обширными ареалами. Живут ястребы в основном в лесных или кустарниковых массивах.

Accipiter () is a genus of birds of prey in the family Accipitridae. Some species are called sparrowhawks, but there are many sparrowhawks in other genera such as Tachyspiza.
These birds are slender with short, broad, rounded wings and a long tail which helps them maneuver in flight. They have long legs and long, sharp talons used to kill their prey, and a sharp, hooked bill used in feeding. Females tend to be larger than males. They often ambush their prey, mainly small birds and mammals, capturing them after a short chase. The typical flight pattern is a series of flaps followed by a short glide. They are commonly found in wooded or shrubby areas.
