Chiromantis cherrapunjiae , with the common names Cherrapunji bubble-nest frog or Cherrapunji bush frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae.

It is endemic to Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh states of northeastern India.

This species was originally placed in genus Philautus and later moved to Chirixalus because it was described as having free-living tadpoles. This genus is no longer recognized and the species was transferred to Chiromantis.[2]

There is little information on habitat and ecological requirements of this species.[1]
