The Australian long-fingered bat (Miniopterus orianae), also called the Australasian bent-winged bat, is a bat of the family Miniopteridae that the Mammal Diversity Database records from Australia, in the Australasian realm. Oldfield Thomas described it in 1922 from Casuarina Bay at Darwin in the Northern Territory. The database treats it as a species split from Miniopterus schreibersii that includes the names bassanii and oceanensis, which may also be distinct taxa, and records its IUCN Red List status as Not Evaluated. Other common names listed include northern bent-winged bat and Oriana's long-fingered bat.
