The Large-Eared Slit-Faced Bat (Nycteris macrotis) is a species of slit-faced bat which lives in forests and savannas throughout Africa. Nycteris vinsoni was once considered a synonym of N. macrotis, but it became recognized as a separate species in 2004. Some, however, still consider N. vinsoni to be a subspecies of N. macrotis, and consider N. macrotis a species complex.

Three subspecies have been noted: N. macrotis aethiopica, N. macrotis macrotis, and N. macrotis luteola.
