Turacoena is a small genus of doves in the family Columbidae that are found in Indonesia.

The genus was introduced in 1854 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte.^[1] The type species is the white-faced cuckoo-dove (Turacoena manadensis).^[2]^[3] The name Turacoena combines the genus name Turacus introduced by the French naturalist Georges Cuvier in 1800 and the Ancient Greek oinas meaning "pigeon".^[4]

The genus includes just 3 species.^[5]
