Ciconia lydekkeri is an extinct species of stork from the Middle and Late Pleistocene of Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina.[1]

Florentino Ameghino named the species after British paleontologist Richard Lydekker, whom first described bones discovered in caves near Lagoa Santa, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Ciconia maltha has been considered to be a synonym of this species and, if accepted, would increase its range to include United States and Cuba.[1]
