The golden-haired tube-nosed bat (Murina chrysochaetes) is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. it is native to southern China and northern Vietnam, where it is thought to be restricted to evergreen forests on the highlands.[2]

It is a very small species of Murina with a narrower braincase and wider canines than other species, and a pelage coloration consisting of black and golden bands, with the golden bands giving it its specific epithet, chrysochaetes.[3]

It is known from only three specimens collected on the border of both countries. It is possibly affected by habitat loss due to logging.[1]
