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.{{Cite mdd |title=Murina shuipuensis Eger & B. K.

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).{{Cite journal |last=Eger |first=Judith L. |last2=Lim |first2=Burton K. |date=1 December 2011 |title=Three New Species of Murina from Southern China (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) |url=http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.3161/150811011X624730 |journal=Acta Chiropterologica |language=en |volume=13 |issue=2 |pages=227–243 |doi=10.3161/150811011X624730 |issn=1508-1109|url-access=subscription }}
