The Maghrebian long-fingered bat (Miniopterus maghrebensis) is a bat of the family Miniopteridae that the Mammal Diversity Database records from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. It was described in 2014 by Sébastien Puechmaille and colleagues as a new species within the Miniopterus schreibersii species complex from the Maghreb region of North Africa, and its type locality is the Kef Azigza cave near Boudenib in Morocco at about 1060 metres. The database gives its IUCN Red List status as Near Threatened and records the alternative common name Maghrebian bent-winged bat.
