Litoria is a genus of Pelodryadid treefrogs, which was historically a wastebasket taxon for the most or all of the family, until a 2025 phylogenetic study separated the family into 35 genera.
The species within the genus Litoria have similar appearances, ranging from grey to brown, although some species exhibit some red colouration, warts or rough skin that helps differentiate their appearance. Most Litoria have a sharper snout than other Pelodryadidae, and many have very large legs and can jump long distances.
The frogs are native to Australia, with the highest diversity found in northern Australia, though three species are found in the cooler climates of south-eastern Australia.
After the splitting of Pelodryadidae, the number of recognised species in the genus reduced from over 100 to just thirteen.
