Geopelia is a genus of small, long-tailed doves in the family Columbidae.
They are native to South-east Asia and Australasia and are most often found in open country and scrubland.
They feed mainly on seeds which they find by foraging on the ground.
They typically lay two eggs in a simple nest of twigs and grass.
The genus was introduced in 1837 by the English naturalist William Swainson with the zebra dove (Geopelia striata) as the type species.
