We present the discovery of NGTS J214358.5–380102, an eccentric M-dwarf binary discovered by the Next-Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). The system period of 7.618 d is greater than many known eclipsing M-dwarf binary systems. Its orbital eccentricity ofis large relative to the period and semimajor axis of the binary. Global modelling of photometry and radial velocities indicates stellar masses ofMA=M⊙,MB=M⊙and stellar radiiRA=R⊙,RB=R⊙, respectively. Comparisons with stellar models for low-mass stars show that one star is consistent with model predictions whereas the other is substantially oversized. Spectral analysis of the system suggests a primary of spectral type M3V, consistent with both modelled masses and radii, and with spectral energy distribution fitting of NGTS photometry. As the most eccentric eclipsing M-dwarf binary known, NGTS J214358.5–380102 provides an interesting insight into the strength of tidal effects in the circularization of stellar orbits.
