Dryopsophus is a genus of stream-dwelling frogs in the family Pelodryadidae. These frogs are native to the Great Dividing Range in eastern Australia. Species in the genus were previously included within the wastebasket genus Litoria, but were separated into a new genus in 2025.[1] They are small-to-medium sized frogs, and most species are predominantly green in colour, but some species can also be brown.
