The Cuban Nightjar (Caprimulgus cubanensis) is a species of nightjar in the Caprimulgidae family. It is found in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montanes.
This species was believed to be conspecific with Hispaniola's Caprimulgus ekmani. Before the split, the species was named Greater Antillean Nightjar.
