Bergmans's fruit bat (Scotonycteris bergmansi) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae found in western and central Africa, in forest. Alexandre Hassanin and colleagues described it in 2014. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Rousettinae and gives its size as 6 to 9 centimetres in length with no tail and a forearm of 4 to 6 centimetres. The same list gives its IUCN status as least concern and records its population trend as unknown. It has no article of its own on the English Wikipedia.
