The palm lorikeet (Vini palmarum) is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae.

The palm lorikeet was formally described in 1788 by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin in his revised and expanded edition of Carl Linnaeus's Systema Naturae.

[2] Gmelin based his description on the "Palm parrot" that had been described in 1781 by the English ornithologist John Latham in his A General Synopsis of Birds.

Latham specified the origin of his specimen as Tanna, one of the islands in the Vanuatu archipelago.

It was moved to the genus Vini based on a molecular phylogenetic study of the lorikeets published in 2020.
