The Natal long-fingered bat (Miniopterus natalensis) is a species of vesper bat in the family Miniopteridae.

It can be found in Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo, possibly Eswatini, Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

It is found in dry savanna, moist savanna, Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation, caves, and hot deserts.

For this, the long-fingered bats have been able to use their primary ability to react to a disappearing target in order to catch moving fish by reaching deeper in the water when a fish dives.
