The short-headed roundleaf bat, Hipposideros breviceps, is a leaf-nosed bat of the family Hipposideridae that is endemic to Indonesia and known only from its type specimen. The type locality is North Pagi Island in the Mentawai Islands off Sumatra, in the lowlands. The Mammal Diversity Database, which lists it also as the short-headed leaf-nosed bat, treats it as a living species in the Indomalayan realm and records no IUCN evaluation for it. Because it has been collected only once, almost nothing is known of its ecology, range or numbers, and the English Wikipedia article for the species is a one-line stub that says only that it is known solely from that specimen.
