Procellaria aequinoctialis (White-chinned Petrel, Procellaria aequinoctialis) is a bird of the genus Procellaria, family Petrema, order Petrelidae.

The shearwater feeds on krill and some fish, and likes to follow boats to pick up food waste and catch debris, so it is particularly prone to death by longline fishing vessels. This is because they are better divers than other petrel species, and will chase bait into deeper water to eat hooks. Invasive rodents such as brown and black rats on breeding islands also threaten their survival.

The Southern Ocean population of the shearwater is estimated at 7 million and breeds on islands around the Antarctic convergence zone, particularly South Georgia. During the non-breeding season, it can be seen as far north as Australia, Peru and the waters off Namibia in Africa, and as far south as Antarctica.
