The Madeiran wood pigeon (Columba palumbus maderensis) was a subspecies of the wood pigeon (Columba palumbus) endemic to Madeira (Portugal), and found in the island's laurel forest habitat.

The Madeiran wood pigeon closely resembled the wood pigeon of mainland Europe, but the plumage was somewhat darker, especially on the upperparts and under wing-coverts.

The German ornithologist Ernst Schmitz lived on the island of Madeira by 1896–1906, a time when the Madeiran wood pigeon was already rare.

Despite great efforts, Schmitz managed to collect only a few specimens and eggs.
