The Cuban blackbird (Dives atroviolaceus) is a species of bird in the family Icteridae.

Measuring 27 cm (11 in) long, this species has entirely black plumage with a slight violet sheen on the upperparts. The only non-black body part is the brown eye.[2]

It is endemic to Cuba, where it is widespread and common. It is entirely absent from the Isla de la Juventud and some of the offshore cays.[2]

Its natural habitats are lowland moist forests and heavily degraded former forest.
