The Ryukyu tip-nosed frog, Ryukyu Island frog, or Okinawa tip-nosed frog (Odorrana narina) is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is endemic to Okinawa Island, in the Ryukyu Islands of Japan.[1][2]

It occurs in streams in primary or well-recovered secondary broad-leaved evergreen forest at elevations up to 503 m (1,650 ft). It is threatened by habitat loss and by predation from introduced small Indian mongooses (Herpestes auropunctatus).[1]
