Sterna is a genus o terns in the bird faimily Sternidae. It uised tae encompass maist "white" terns indiscriminately, but mtDNA sequence comparisons hae recently determined that this arrangement is paraphyletic (Bridge et al., 2005). It is nou restrictit tae the typical lairge white terns occurrin near-globally in coastal regions.
