The Caspian plover (Charadrius asiaticus) is a wader in the plover family of birds. The genus name Charadrius is a Late Latin word for a yellowish bird mentioned in the fourth-century Vulgate.

The specific asiaticus is Latin and means "Asian", although in binomials it usually means the type locality was India.[2]
