Philautus catbaensis, the Cat Ba shrub frog, is a frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Vietnam, where it has been observed on Cat Ba Island in Cát Bà National Park, which ranges from 0 to 300 meters above sea level.

This frog is classified as endangered because of its small range, in which notable deforestation is ongoing, mostly attributable to agriculture.
