The **red-crowned crane** (*Grus japonensis*), also called the **Manchurian crane** or **Japanese crane**, is a large East Asian crane among the rarest cranes in the world. In some parts of its range, it is known as a symbol of luck, longevity, and fidelity.

They are often seen in Siberia (eastern Russia), northeastern China, occasionally in northeastern Mongolia, Taiwan, and eastern Hokkaidō in Japan.
