The house-dwelling leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros einnaythu, is a small roundleaf bat known from Myanmar. It was described in 2011 by Douangboubpha and colleagues from a female collected in 2010 at sea level at Kan Thar Yar Beach in Gwa Township, Rakhine State. The authors clearly distinguished it from two small Hipposideros already known in the region, the Nicobar leaf-nosed bat and the dusky roundleaf bat, in a paper that also re-evaluated the Nicobar bat. All the specimens recorded so far were found in human habitations. The Mammal Diversity Database lists it as a recently described living species of the Indomalayan realm that has not been evaluated for the IUCN Red List.
