Petropedetes parkeri is a species of frog in the family Petropedetidae. It is found in western Cameroon and eastern Nigeria. Records from Equatorial Guinea and Gabon are uncertain, possibly belonging to Petropedetes euskircheni.[2][3] P. parkeri is named after Hampton Wildman Parker, a British zoologist and herpetologist from the Natural History Museum, London.[3][4][5] Common names Parker's water frog and Parker's torrent frog have been proposed for it.[2]
