Harpyhaliaetus is a genus of eagles. Recent studies have shown that the Solitary Eagle is closely related to the black-hawks, in particular the Savanna Hawk (Buteogallus meridionalis) which is smaller and browner but otherwise very similar to "Harpyhaliaetus". Therefore, this genus may be merged into that of the black-hawks.
It contains the following species:
- Crowned Solitary Eagle, Harpyhaliaetus coronatus
- Montane Solitary Eagle, Harpyhaliaetus solitarius
