The Quezon limestone forest frog (Platymantis quezoni) is a frog. It lives in the Philippines on Luzon Island. Scientists have seen it in one place: the Bicol Peninsula. But they think it may live in other places too.

The adult male frog is 22.1-33.9 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 32.4-39.7 mm long. It is tan to brown in color with darker marks. It lives in places where there is limestone karst rock in the ground.
