The New Caledonian nightjar (Eurostopodus exul) is a poorly known species of nightjar in the family Caprimulgidae.

It has silvery-grey plumage with dark blotches and streaks and a blackish crown and dark grey brown underparts with a small white throat patch.

It is considered possibly extinct, as it is known only from the holotype which was collected in 1939.

The specimen was of a bird taken in coastal savanna.

The possibility of decline in population was probably caused by predation by introduced cats and rats, alongside habitat destruction.
