Mopsitta is an extinct genus of parrot from the lower Eocene of Denmark. Only one species is descript, Mopsitta tanta. Although the phylogenetic position of genus is unclear (it is classified as family incertae sedis), it is phylogenetically closer to Recent Psittacidae than to other known Palaeogene psittaciforms and may, therefore, represent the oldest known crown-group parrot.
