The Vanikoro Flying Fox (Pteropus tuberculatus) is a species of megabat in the Pteropodidae family. It is known only from a few specimens from Vanikolo in the Solomon Islands with the last possibly collected before 1930 . It is probably extinct as Vanikolo has been extensively logged and surveys have failed to rediscover this species.
