The Antillean nighthawk (Chordeiles gundlachii) is a nightjar native to the Caribbean, The Bahamas, and Florida Keys.

Its specific epithet, gundlachii, is in honor of Cuban naturalist Juan Gundlach.

The most distinguishing characteristic to determine its identity from its closest relative the common nighthawk are the contrasting pale tertials near the back of the wings of a sitting bird.

They usually nest on bare ground, sometimes in raised locations including stumps or gravel roofs.

They catch flying insects on the wing, mainly foraging near dawn and dusk (crepuscular) or sometimes at night with a full moon.
