The Palawan crow (Corvus pusillus) is a Passerine bird of the family Corvidae, in the genus Corvus. It was previously considered a subspecies of the slender-billed crow (Corvus enca), but phylogenetic evidence indicates that both are distinct species, and it has thus been split by the International Ornithologists' Union.[1][2]

It is endemic to the Philippines, where it is found on Mindoro, Palawan, and the Calamian Islands.[3] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical mangrove forest.
