The Nendo or Santa Cruz tube-nosed fruit bat (Nyctimene sanctacrucis) is a megabat from the Santa Cruz Group of the Solomon Islands, near the eastern limit of the distribution of tube-nosed fruit bats. It has tube-like nostrils and a wingspan of about 40 centimetres. It is known from a single female specimen collected in the late 19th century and donated to the Australian Museum in Sydney in 1892, and it was apparently last seen on the island of Nendo in 1907. It was previously treated as extinct but is currently classified as data deficient by the IUCN because of continuing concerns about its taxonomic validity.
