Parnell's mustached bat (Pteronotus parnellii) is an insectivorous bat native to the Americas. It ranges from southern Sonora, Mexico, south to Brazil. It has a wider historical range; fossil specimens have been collected on the island of New Providence in the Bahamas.
The bat was named for the British zoologist Richard Parnell.
