The Serama , also called the Malaysian Serama, is a bantam breed of chicken originating in Malaysia within the last 50 years; it is the smallest breed of chicken in the world. The American Serama as put forth by the Serama Council of North America has now gained acceptance by the American Poultry Association and the American Bantam Association as of April 2011, with the White color variety being the first to be accepted.

In early 2012, another group was formed to help gain APA and ABA acceptance of more varieties of Serama. This group is known as the American Serama Association.
