Litoria christianbergmanni is a frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Indonesia and has been found in the Fakfak Mountains at 860 meters above sea level.[2][3][4]

The adult male frog measures 26.9–31.2 mm long in snout-vent length. The skin of the dorsum is uniform green with very small yellow-white spots on the back and legs. There is more webbing on the hind feet than on the front feet. The backs of the legs are brown in color.[5]
