Numerous subspecies of Falco peregrinus have been described, with 19 accepted by the 1994 Handbook of the Birds of the World, which considers the Barbary Falcon of the Canary Islands and coastal north Africa to be two subspecies ( pelegrinoides and babylonicus ) of Falco peregrinus, rather than a distinct species, F. pelegrinoides.

Two of the subspecies listed above ( Falco peregrinus pelegrinoides and F. p. babylonicus ) are often instead treated together as a distinct species, Falco pelegrinoides ( Barbary Falcon ), although they were included within F. peregrinus in the 1994 Handbook of the Birds of the World.

Birds breeding in Ireland and western Scotland are slightly darker coloured than those in other areas, and are often distinguished as the subspecies Anthus pratensis whistleri, though it intergrades clinally with nominate Anthus pratensis pratensis found in the rest of the species ' range.
