The lesser flying fox or Sanborn's flying fox (Pteropus mahaganus) is a species of flying fox in the family Pteropodidae. It is found in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.

Although the species has been found plantations, the habitat of the species is fragmented by increasing agriculture and logging.[1]
