Cabanis's ground sparrow (Melozone cabanisi) or the Costa Rican ground sparrow, is a bird species of the Passerellidae family. It previously was considered a subspecies of the Prevost's ground sparrow.
Cabanis's ground sparrow is endemic to central Costa Rica. It is ranked as "Near Threatened" by the IUCN due to its small range on the Meseta Central which has seen increased urban development in recent decades. Though it persists in altered habitats like coffee plantations, the sparrow has a limited distribution and the population is relatively small, estimated at only between 20,000 and 50,000 adult individuals. It is also believed to be decreasing in number.
