The Greater Antillean bullfinch (Melopyrrha violacea) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae, the tanagers and allies. It is found in the Bahamas, Hispaniola (the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and their offshore islands), Jamaica, and the Turks and Caicos Islands. The Greater Antillean bullfinch is 13.2 to 17.5 cm (5.2 to 6.9 in) long and weighs 18 to 32.4 g (0.63 to 1.1 oz). The species is sexually dimorphic though not dramatically so. Adult males of the nominate M. v. violacea are black except for a short red-orange supercilium and red-orange throat and undertail coverts. Adult females are a duller, more slaty black than males, especially on their upperparts. The other subspecies of the Greater Antillean bullfinch differ little from the nominate. M. v. affinis is smaller and glossier and M. v. maurella is larger than affinis and glossier than the nominate. Subspecies M. v. ruficollis differs the most; it is larger, grayer, and duller than the nominate with a paler supercilium and throat. M. v. ofella is the smallest subspecies but otherwise like the nominate. M. v. parishi is described as smaller than the nominate "but this is not confirmed by any measurements of topotypes". Both sexes of all subspecies have a dark iris, a short, thick dark gray bill, and dusky legs and feet.
