Villiers's long-fingered bat (Miniopterus villiersi) is a bat of the family Miniopteridae that the Mammal Diversity Database records from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, in the Afrotropical realm. Villy Aellen described it in 1956 as Miniopterus inflatus villiersi from the Marche cave at Dalaba in what was then French Guinea, and the database treats it as a species split from Miniopterus schreibersii. Its IUCN Red List status is recorded as Not Evaluated, and the database also gives the alternative common name Villiers's bent-winged bat.
