The Sororcula long-fingered bat (Miniopterus sororculus) is a bat of the family Miniopteridae that the Mammal Diversity Database records only from Madagascar, in the Afrotropical realm. It was described in 2007 by Steven Goodman and colleagues in a study of the specific status of Malagasy populations referred to Miniopterus fraterculus, and its type locality is an unnamed cave south of Ambatofinandrahana at 1450 metres. Its IUCN Red List status is Least Concern, and the database also gives the alternative names Malagasy long-fingered bat and Sororcula bent-winged bat.
