The Montagne d'Ambre long-fingered bat (Miniopterus ambohitrensis) is a bat of the family Miniopteridae that is recorded only from Madagascar. It was described in 2015 by Steven Goodman and colleagues as a new member of the Miniopterus aelleni group from upland areas of central and northern Madagascar, and its type locality lies in the Montagne d'Ambre National Park at about 1000 metres. The Mammal Diversity Database lists it as a living species of the Afrotropical realm with an IUCN Red List status of Least Concern, and records the alternative names Ambohitra long-fingered bat and Montagne d'Ambre bent-winged bat.
