The white-headed fruit dove (Ptilinopus eugeniae) is a species of bird in the pigeon family Columbidae. Adult doves have white heads, a purplish-red breast patch, a grey shoulder patch, olive-green upperparts, greenish underparts with a blue tinge, and a yellowish vent. Juveniles have green heads with the white restricted to the forehead and upper throat, a much smaller grey shoulder patch, and the red breast patch restricted to the centre of the breast. Ptilinopus eugeniae is endemic to Makira and the nearby islands of Ugi and Malaupaina in the Solomon Islands.
