Major's long-fingered bat (Miniopterus majori) is a bat of the family Miniopteridae that the Mammal Diversity Database records only from Madagascar, in the Afrotropical realm. Oldfield Thomas described it in 1906 from Imasindrary in northeastern Betsileo, in a paper on new African mammals that also named Miniopterus manavi. The database lists it in Mammal Species of the World of 2005, gives its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern, and records the alternative common name Major's bent-winged bat.
