Gracupica is a genus of Asian birds in the family Sturnidae. It is sometimes merged with Sturnus or Sturnia.

The Sturnidae are named for the genus Sturnus which in Latin means starling.
The genus name Gracupica combines the Latin graculus meaning "jackdaw" (related to but smaller than crows and ravens) with pica meaning "magpie".
