The Moluccan emerald, Todirhamphus diops, or Moluccan Kingfisher, is a species of kingfisher of the genus Collin.

The Moluccan emerald, like most forest game kingfishers, is entirely carnivorous. Often searching for prey in leaves or dirt. The main diet is invertebrates such as crickets, spiders, scorpions, and snails. It also eats small vertebrates such as small fish, small snakes and lizards.

Moluccan emerald nests on earth cliffs or river embankments, tunnelled caves dug with mouths for nests, 60 cm deep, 20 cm wide, 10 cm high, oval. These caves are generally bare of bedding. The eggs are laid directly on the nest ground. Some also drill holes in tree trunks for nests. Oval, pure white, about 29.4×26.2 mm in size.
