Eger's long-fingered bat (Miniopterus egeri) is a bat of the family Miniopteridae that the Mammal Diversity Database records only from Madagascar, in the Afrotropical realm. It was described in 2011 by Steven Goodman and colleagues in a study of the morphological, bioacoustic and genetic variation of Miniopterus bats in eastern Madagascar. The type locality is the Sahafina forest, west of Brickaville in Toamasina Province, at about 50 metres. Its IUCN Red List status is Least Concern, and the database gives the alternative name Eger's bent-winged bat.
