Palawan Sunbird, Cinnyris aurora, is a sunbird of the Palawan group in the south-western Philippines, where it breeds in the Oriental Region. It was first described in 1878 by Tweeddale. It is now treated as a separate species from the garden sunbird, after once being placed with that bird as a subspecies. It is a monotypic species, with no recognised subspecies. It occurs in a range of habitats, including forest edges and open scrub, across the islands of Palawan.
