Bokermann's nectar bat (Lonchophylla bokermanni) is a bat species from South America. It is found in southeastern Brazil, in Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. It is poorly known and has not been seen again since its discovery in 1978. It is an insectivore and may be an important pollinator. It is threatened by severe deforestation but may be protected by Ilha Grande State Park.
