This list of Scilla species shows the accepted species names within the genus Scilla , which are predominantly spring perennial plants in the order of Asparagales, and the Asparagaceae (amaryllis) family. The common name is squill, but this has also been applied to a number of taxa not included in Scilla. ^[2]

The number of species varies from 30 to about 80, depending on how narrowly or widely the genus is defined. In the narrow circumscription (e.g Speta 1998) a number of species are segregated into eight separate smaller genera. ^{[3] [4]} Species of Chionodoxa are often included with Scilla and some classifications list those as a separate section of the genus Scilla (section Chionodoxa) (sec, all other species being included in section Scilla. ^[5]

The common bluebell of British and European bluebell woods, still occasionally referred to by a former name, Scilla non-scripta, is now known as Hyacinthoides non-scripta . Several African species previously classified in Scilla have been removed to the genus Ledebouria . The best known of these is the common houseplant still sometimes known as Scilla violacea but now properly Ledebouria socialis .^{[ citation needed ]}
