The Manavi long-fingered bat (Miniopterus manavi) is a bat of the family Miniopteridae that the Mammal Diversity Database records only from Madagascar, in the Afrotropical realm. Oldfield Thomas described it in 1906 from Imasindrary in northeastern Betsileo. The database notes that the species once included Miniopterus griveaudi and populations now assigned to Miniopterus aelleni, Miniopterus brachytragos and Miniopterus mahafaliensis, so its modern definition is much narrower than the original one. Its IUCN Red List status is Least Concern, and the genus was moved from the family Vespertilionidae into Miniopteridae.
