Amolops himalayanus (Himalaya sucker frog, Himalaya cascade frog, or Himalaya frog) is a species of frog found in northeastern India and Nepal.[2]

Whether this species is distinct from Amolops formosus is still debated.[2] For example, the most recent IUCN assessment (2004) treated Amolops himalayanus as a synonym of Amolops formosus.[3]
