The long-nosed bandicoot ('Perameles nasuta'), a marsupial, is a species of bandicoot found in eastern Australia, from north Queensland along the east coast to Victoria. Around 40 centimetres (16 in) long, it is sandy- or grey-brown with a long snouty nose. It is Omnivorous and it forages for invertebrates, fungi, and plants at night.

The species is distributed along the eastern coast of Australia from the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland to New South Wales and Victoria. It is found in rainforests, moist gullies, and grassy woodlands. Long-nosed bandicoots benefit from a mosaic of mixed habitats, including open grassy areas (such as lawns in urban areas) that they forage in at night-time and sheltered areas with undergrowth that they retreat to and nest in.
