Ectoparasites of 18 free-living Cuban Ground Doves, Columbina passerina insularis (Columbiformes: Columbidae), captured in the National Zoological Park, Havana, Cuba, were identified. The collected ectoparasites included two species of lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera): Columbicola passerinae (77.1\%), and Physconelloides eurysema (50\%), as well as four species of feather mites (Astigmata: Falculiferidae): Pterophagus lomatus (83.3\%), Byersalges talpacoti (50\%), Byersalges phyllophorus (72.2\%), and Hyperaspidacarus tridentatus (27.7\%). Pterophagus lomatus, B. phyllophorus, and H. tridentatus represent new records for Cuba.
