The plumed egret (Ardea plumifera) is a species of heron native to Australia and Oceania. Previously this species was regarded as a subspecies of the intermediate egret (Ardea intermedia sensu lato) alongside the Asian intermediate egret (A. (i.) intermedia) and the African yellow-billed egret (A. (i.) brachyrhyncha).
