Tlaloc's leopard frog (Lithobates tlaloci), or rana de Tláloc in Spanish, is a species of frog in the family Ranidae endemic to the Valley of Mexico.[3] It is most likely extinct.[1]

Tlaloc's leopard frog inhabited wetland areas in the surroundings of southern Mexico City. The suitable habitat disappeared because of rapid urbanization.[1]
