The Camiguin hanging parrot (Loriculus camiguinensis) is a hanging parrot endemic to the Philippine island of Camiguin, where its habitat is diminishing. The taxonomy of this population of parrots on Camiguin is uncertain. While it has yet to be assessed by the IUCN Red List, it is believed that this species is threatened and is declining primarily due to the cagebird trade.
