Garrulus is a genus of Old World jays, passerine birds in the family Corvidae.
The genus was established by French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760. The type species is the Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius). The name ' is a Latin word meaning chattering, babbling or noisy.
Three species are currently accepted, though some authors split Eurasian jay into three species, thereby accepting five species in the genus.
