The narrow-nosed planigale (Planigale tenuirostris) is a small Australian carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae.
The narrow-nosed planigale was described by Ellis Le Geyt Troughton in 1928, separating it from the common planigale (P. maculata) with which it had previously been associated.
The scientific name for the species means "slender-snouted flat-weasel".
