The Tucuman Pygmy-owl ("Glaucidium tucumanum") is a small South American owl.

It is 16 to 17.5 cm long and weighs 55 to 60 grams.Citation | last = Weick | first = Friedhelm | year = 2006 | title = Owls (Strigiformes): Annotated and Illustrated Checklist | publisher = Springer | page = 171–172 | isbn = 978-3-540-35234-1]

Its range is the Gran Chaco region of Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina south to Tucumán province and the northern part of Córdoba province. It lives in arid and semi-arid thorny and bushy habitats from 500 meters up to 1500 meters, at some places 1800 meters, above sea level.

Some authorities consider it a subspecies of the Ferruginous Pygmy-owl, in which case it is called "Glaucidium brasilianum pallens". For example, the IUCN does not list it.IUCN 2007. [http://www.iucnredlist.org 2007 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species] . Downloaded on 26 September 2007.] Among authorities that do consider it a full species are the 2007 "Clements Checklist of Birds of the World" and the "Handbook of the Birds of the World".Citation | last = Lepage | first = Denis | year = 2003–2007 | title = Avibase - the world bird database | url = http://www.bsc-eoc.org/avibase/avibase.jsp?pg=summary&lang=EN&id=E1F14A0836C00B9E&ts=1190928187875 | accessdate = Sept. 27, 2007]
