The common tube-nosed fruit bat (Nyctimene albiventer) is a species of megabat in the family Pteropodidae.

[3] A part of the population which occurs on mainland Australia was recognised by this name, but specimens described by Oldfield Thomas were assigned to the species Nyctimene robinsoni in 1904.

[3] The name also encompasses populations at locations which are morphologically distinct, in two separate species complexes distributed across the region, with probable and unnamed taxa sometimes occurring in sympatry; up to three sympatric species may be discerned on the main island of New Guinea.

[1] The species-group is generally solitary and adopts a daytime roost in dry foliage of the lower to mid storey of the forest.

[4] The species occurs at the islands north of Cape York Peninsula in Australia, but has not been recorded on the mainland.
