The spice imperial pigeon (Ducula myristicivora) is a species of bird in the family Columbidae.

It is endemic to Indonesia, where it occurs in the eastern Moluccas and the Raja Ampat Islands.

[2][3] The spice imperial pigeon was formally described in 1786 by the Austrian naturalist Giovanni Antonio Scopoli and given the binomial name Columba myristicivora.

[4] The specific epithet myristicivora combines the botanical genus name Myristica that contains the nutmeg (from the Ancient Greek muristikos meaning "fragrant"), with the Latin -vorus meaning "eating".

[6] This species is now placed in the genus Ducula that was introduced by the English naturalist Brian Houghton Hodgson in 1836.
