Subspecies
Glaucidium minutissimum (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Least Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium minutissimum) and Subtropical Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium parkeri) following SACC (2005), and Central American Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium griseiceps), Tamaulipas Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium sanchezi) and Colima Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium palmarum) following AOU (1998).

Forms species complex with Colima Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium palmarum), Tamaulipas Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium sanchezi), Central American Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium griseiceps), Subtropical Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium parkeri) and Hardy's Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium hardyi). All (except recently described Subtropical Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium parkeri)) formerly treated as subspecies of this species, but appear to have constant vocal differences. Further research is needed.

No subspecies.
