The Shuipu tube-nosed bat or Shuifu tube-nosed bat (Murina shuipuensis) is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is endemic to southern China , where it is known only from Guangxi province. It is named after the type locality, Shuipu Village.[1][2]

It has golden-brown fur with a striking orange-yellow underside, along with a small skull with a deep, pronounced rostrum. It resembles the much larger greater tube-nosed bat (M. leucogaster).[3]
