We developed and characterized 15 microsatellite markers for Rafinesque's big‐eared bat, Corynorhinus rafinesquii . In a population from Tennessee, the number of alleles per locus ranged from three to 13 and observed heterozygosities were 0.35 to 0.97 per locus. These loci will provide appropriate variability for estimation of population connectivity, demographic parameters, and genetic diversity for this species of concern.
