Collett's whipping frog, Collett's tree frog, or the black-spotted tree frog (Polypedates colletti) is a frog. It lives in Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, and some islands in the South China Sea. People have seen them as high as 600 meters above sea level.

This frog lives in evergreen forests where the ground is flat.

Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place and because it is good at living in places that humans have changed. This frog does have some threats: Human being cutting down the forests, mostly to make palm oil farms.
