The Madagascar long-fingered bat (Miniopterus brachytragos) is a bat of the family Miniopteridae that the Mammal Diversity Database records only from Madagascar, in the Afrotropical realm. It was described in 2009 by Steven Goodman and colleagues in a paper on cryptic and paraphyletic species among the diminutive long-fingered bats of Madagascar, from a holotype collected in the Ambovonomby forest of the Namoroka reserve at about 200 metres above sea level. The database treats it as one of the populations formerly included under Miniopterus manavi, lists its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern, and gives the alternative names broad-tragused long-fingered bat and Madagascar bent-winged bat.
