The Antipodes parakeet or Antipodes Island parakeet is a parrot in the family Psittaculidae that is endemic to the Antipodes Islands of New Zealand. It is one of two parrot species found on the islands, and one of only five ground-dwelling parrots in the world.

Unusually for parrots, they sometimes prey upon other birds, a trait shared by another New Zealand parrot, the kea.
