Swinhoe's roundleaf bat, or Pratt's roundleaf bat, is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae found in China, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. The dorsal fur is reddish brown and the ventral fur lighter. The average forearm length is 83.4–90.8 mm and the average body mass 53–68.9 g (Wikipedia, general species account).

It has a transverse bilobed shield behind the posterior noseleaf; in young males and females the shield may be small, but in old males it becomes an elaborate, flashy structure. It resides in caves, which are typical daytime roosts and may contain hundreds or thousands of bats, and shares its roosts with other bat species such as the great roundleaf bat.
