The Uvea Parakeet (Eunymphicus uvaeensis) is a species of parrot in the Psittacidae family. It is endemic to the island of Uvea in the Loyalty Islands, New Caledonia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It once ranged across the other Loyalty Islands; an attempt to reintroduce it to Lifou failed. It is threatened by habitat loss and the pet trade.
