The Venezuelan parakeet (Pyrrhura emma) is a bird in the parrot family Psittacidae. It was formerly considered conspecific with the white-eared parakeet (Pyrrhura leucotis).

Pyrrhura emma occurs in forested areas of the Venezuelan Coastal Range. One population lies between Yaracuy and Miranda and another from Anzoátegui to Sucre and northern Monagas.

The Venezuelan parakeet occurs in wet and humid foothill forests and adjacent clearings.
