Kuhl's lorikeet, also called the Rimitara lorikeet, Kuhl's lory, manu 'ura or kura, is a species of lorikeet in the family Psittaculidae. It is one of several species of Vini lorikeets found in islands ranging across the South Pacific. Nicholas Aylward Vigors named it kuhlii in 1824 after Heinrich Kuhl, a German ornithologist whose survey of the parrots Conspectus psittacorum had appeared in 1819.
