The eastern or Queensland tube-nosed bat (Nyctimene robinsoni) is a megabat in the family Pteropodidae that lives in north-eastern Australia.

The ears and wing membranes exhibit many small contrasting spots of a yellow-green or pallid yellow colour, a characteristic also observed in the Torres species Nyctimene cephalotes.

[8] The colour of the pelage is russet to greyish shades of brown, greyer at the face and over the head, with a dark line extending down the back from the neck.

[6] The distribution range extends along the east coast of the continent, north of Lismore, New South Wales to Cape York and at the islands of the Torres Strait.

[11] The unusual nostril projections were once thought to act as a snorkel, allowing them breathe while the mouth is embedded in soft fleshed fruits.

[3] N. Robinsoni exhibits signs of lunar phobia, as their body temperature is lowered to near-resting levels during full-mooned nights.

[3] The species is listed with the conservation status least concern by the Queensland state government, where it is more common, and vulnerable in New South Wales.

[7] They have been identified as especially vulnerable to the hazards presented by barbed wire, an often fatal encounter for any bat species.

[13][14] A survey in the aftermath of a single storm event, Cyclone Larry (2006), found sixteen individuals had become entangled in barbed wire fencing at the Atherton Tableland.

[14] N. Robinsoni has also come into conflict with orchardists, and entanglement in netting over fruit tees has led to death by starvation.
