Some mainly [[Southern Hemisphere]] birds are called "geese", most of which belong to the [[shelduck]] subfamily [[Tadorninae]]. These are:
* The [[Orinoco goose]] (''Neochen jubata'')
* The [[Egyptian goose]] (''Alopochen aegyptiaca'')
* The South American [[Sheldgoose|sheldgeese]] in the genus ''Chloephaga''
* The [[Late Quaternary prehistoric birds|prehistoric]] [[Malagasy sheldgoose]] (''Centrornis majori'')

Others:
* The [[spur-winged goose]] (''Plectropterus gambensis'') is most closely related to the shelducks, but distinct enough to warrant its own subfamily, the [[Plectropterinae]].
* The [[blue-winged goose]] (''Cyanochen cyanopterus'') and the [[Cape Barren goose]] (''Cereopsis novaehollandiae'') have disputed affinities. They belong to separate ancient lineages that may ally either to the [[Tadorninae]], the [[Anserinae]], or closer to the dabbling ducks (Anatinae).
* The three species of small waterfowl in the genus ''[[Nettapus]]'' named "pygmy geese"; they seem to represent another ancient lineage, with possible affinities to the Cape Barren goose or the spur-winged goose.
* The [[maned goose]], also known as the maned duck or Australian wood duck (''Chenonetta jubata'')
* A genus of prehistorically [[extinct]] [[seaduck]]s, ''[[Chendytes]]'', is sometimes called the "diving-geese" due to their large size.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=New Records and a New Species of Chendytes, an Extinct Genus of Diving Geese |first=Hildegarde |last=Howard |journal=The Condor |volume=57 |issue=3 |year=1955 |pages=135–143 |doi=10.2307/1364861 |jstor=1364861}}</ref>
* The [[magpie goose]] (''Anseranas semipalmata'') is the only living species in the family [[Anseranatidae]].
* The [[northern gannet]] (''Morus bassanus''), a seabird, is also known as the "solan goose", although it is unrelated to the true geese, or any other [[Anseriformes]] for that matter.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Chester |first=Sharon |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yDD9CwAAQBAJ |title=The Arctic Guide: Wildlife of the Far North |date=2016-09-06 |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=978-1-4008-6596-3 |page=163 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Morus bassanus (Linnaeus, 1758) |url=https://www.gbif.org/species/2480964 |access-date=2023-12-28 |website=www.gbif.org |language=en}}</ref>
