Boana exastis is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the Northeast Region of Brazil and has been recorded from Bahia, Alagoas, and Pernambuco. ^[2]

Boana exastis occurs in the Atlantic forest domain ^{[1] [3]} at elevations of 100–490 m (330–1,610 ft) above sea level. ^[3] Records have been made in primary forest with large trees and an abundance of epiphytes, adjacent to and in a forest edge, and cocoa plantations adjacent to the forest. ^{[1] [3]} Breeding presumably takes place in temporary pools or permanent streams. Threats to this species are unknown; its ability to persist in modified habitats such cocoa plantations remains to be seen. ^[1]
