The Bogotá yellow-shouldered bat (Sturnira bogotensis ) is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela at altitudes from 300 m to above 2000 m, particularly in cloud forest. The species is primarily frugivorous; it may also consume nectar and pollen.

starts withThe Bogotá yellow-shouldered bat is considered medium sized for the genus Sturnira. It has a forearm length of 43–45.3 mm (1.69–1.78 in), though some consider that measurement inaccurate and suspect the true average is longer.
The Bogotá yellow-shouldered bat is native to South America where its range includes the following countries: Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. While it has previously been listed as occurring in Bolivia and Argentina, those records were determined to be incorrect. It is found at relatively high elevation montane areas from 1,200–3,100 m (3,900–10,200 ft) above sea level.
As of 2018, it is evaluated as a least concern species by the IUCN. It meets the criteria for this classification due to its wide geographic range, presumably large population size, and the fact that it is unlikely to be experiencing rapid population decline. Its population trend is listed as stable.
