The Madeiran chaffinch (Fringilla maderensis) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae.

[1] It is endemic to the Portuguese island of Madeira, part of Macaronesia in the North Atlantic Ocean.

The female's colouring is more subdued with a cream breast and brownish back, but both sexes have prominent white wing-bars and tail-sides.

It is widespread through the hills of the island, occupying both the native laurisilva forest and plantations of introduced trees, as well as in areas of heath, farmland and shrubland.

The female builds a cup-shaped nest lined with feathers in which she lays a clutch of four or five eggs and which she alone incubates for 12–15 days before they hatch.
