Gilliard's flying fox (Pteropus gilliardi in its own article, listed as Pteropus gilliardorum in the Wikipedia list of pteropodids) is a flying fox of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to Papua New Guinea and known from only three specimens. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest and subtropical or tropical swamp. It prefers to stay solitary or in small groups, and it lives in a restricted range, so widespread clearing of lowland forest could affect upland habitats. The list of pteropodids gives its IUCN status as vulnerable and records its population trend as unknown.
