The Palawan crow (Corvus pusillus) is a passerine bird of the family Corvidae, in the genus Corvus. It was previously considered a subspecies of the slender-billed crow, but phylogenetic evidence indicates that the two are distinct species, and it has thus been split by the International Ornithologists' Union.

It is endemic to the Philippines, where it is found on Mindoro, Palawan, and the Calamian Islands. Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forest and tropical mangrove forest.
