The golden fruit dove (Ptilinopus luteovirens), also known as the lemon dove or yellow dove, is a small, approximately 20 cm long, short-tailed fruit-dove in the family Columbidae. The common name refers to the male doves' bright golden-yellow color. The body feathers of Ptilinopus luteovirens appear almost iridescent due to their elongated shape and hair-like texture. The female is a dark green bird with bare parts resembling those of the male. The young resembles the female. The golden fruit doves are endemic to the forests of Fiji.
