Spilopelia senegalensis (Linnaeus, 1766)

Palmduva (Spilopelia senegalensis) är en duva som förekommer i spridda populationer i Afrika, Mellanöstern och Asien. Dess trivialnamn kommer av att den i delar av sitt utbredningsområde, som norra Afrika och Mellanöstern, ofta kan hittas i palmdungar. IUCN kategoriserar den som livskraftig. Arten placerades tidigare i Streptopelia, men står närmare duvor i släktena Nesoenas och Columba.
