The blue-crowned racket-tail (Prioniturus discurus) is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. It is endemic to the Philippines found in Luzon, Mindanao and Visayas where it is found in tropical moist lowland forest. The Mindoro racket-tail of Mindoro and Blue-headed racket-tail of Palawan were once considered subspecies of the Blue-crowned racket-tail but are now separate species. While not endangered, this species' population is on the decline due to habitat loss and the cagebird trade.
