The royal parrotfinch (Erythrura regia) is a species of estrildid finch endemic to Vanuatu in the South Pacific Ocean.

It is found commonly at mid-altitudes on the larger islands such as Espiritu Santo, above 300 m., but it also can be found at small sea-level islands in fruiting figs in forest edge in Emae and Tongoa.

This species is usually found in singles, pairs or small groups feeding on figs in the forest canopy.

Male royal parrotfinches have a bright red head and tail, blue breast and turquoise-green upperparts, while females are greener in colour.

It was suggested to implement a captive conservation breeding programme on Lake Letas Reserve, Gaua.
