Eschscholtz's long-fingered bat (Miniopterus eschscholtzii) is a bat of the family Miniopteridae that the Mammal Diversity Database records only from the Philippines, in the Indomalayan realm. George Robert Waterhouse described it in 1845 as Vespertilio eschscholtzii from bats collected in the Philippine Islands by Hugh Cuming, 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 Eschscholtz's bent-winged bat.
