Homfray's horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus andamanensis) is a species of bat in the family Rhinolophidae. It is endemic to the Andaman Islands.
It is a medium-sized bat, with forearms of 46.7–56.6 mm. It was previously considered a subspecies of the intermediate horseshoe bat (R. affinis), from which it was separated based on morphometric, acoustic and molecular phylogeny criteria.[1]
