The Cuban Red Macaw, Ara tricolor, is an extinct parrot that formerly occurred on Cuba and the Isla de la Juventud. It was a rather small species of Ara macaw, measuring 45 - 50 cm.

A pair was kept in the royal menagerie of Sch??nbrunn Castle, Vienna, from 1760.

Extinction
The Cuban Red Macaw was reasonably common around 1800. During the early 19th century, the human population in its home range increased dramatically, leading to widespread deforestation. The bird was also hunted for food, and nests were plundered or disturbed to acquire young birds to keep as pets. Until 1849, the species seems to have been able to hold its own at least in remote areas, but subsequently, the population crashed never to recover. At least 19 specimens are known to exist, the last one being shot in 1864 at La Vega in the vicinity of the Ci??naga de Zapata swamp, which seems to have been the last stronghold of the species. Unconfirmed records suggest that birds persisted there until 1885.
