The cloven-feathered dove (Drepanoptila holosericea) is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It is monotypic within the genus Drepanoptila, but this genus is possibly better merged into Ptilinopus. The cloven-feathered dove is endemic to New Caledonia where it is found in forest and Melaleuca savanna at altitudes up to 1,000 m (3,300 ft).
It is considered near-threatened by the IUCN due to habitat degradation and hunting.
