The Mount Tucuche tree frog (Flectonotus fitzgeraldi) is a species of tree frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is found in Trinidad and Tobago and Paria Peninsula, Venezuela.[2] It is an arboreal species occurring in various microhabitats of humid montane forest: leaf bases of bromeliads and aroids, bushes. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]

This species is named after Leslie Desmond Foster Vesey-Fitzgerald who worked on Trinidad and Tobago in the early 1930s.
