Papurana is a genus of frogs in the family Ranidae, "true frogs".[1][2] They are known from Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and northern Australia.[1][3] Papurana daemeli is the only ranid frog found in Australia.[4]

Papurana was originally introduced as a subgenus of Rana. It was often included in the then-diverse genus Hylarana, until Oliver and colleagues revised the genus in 2015, delimiting Hylarana more narrowly and elevating Papurana to genus rank.[1][3]
