The greater bulldog bat or fisherman bat (Noctilio leporinus) is a species of fishing bat native to Latin America. The bat uses echolocation to detect water ripples made by the fish upon which it preys, then uses the pouch between its legs to scoop the fish up and its sharp claws to catch and cling to it. It is not to be confused with the lesser bulldog bat, which, though belonging to the same genus, merely catches water insects, such as water striders and water beetles.

Noctilio leporinus emits echolocation sounds through the mouth like Myotis daubentoni, but the sounds are quite different, containing a long constant frequency part around 55 kHz, which is an unusually high frequency for a bat this large.

Order: Chiroptera
Family: Noctilionidae
Genus: Noctilio
Species: Noctilio leporinus (Linnaeus, 1758)
Synonyms
- Noctilio americanus Linnaeus, 1766
