Glandirana tientaiensis, also known as Tiantai frog and Tientai rough-skinned frog, is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. Its name refers to its type locality, Tiantai. ^[2] It is endemic to eastern China and is only known from Zhejiang and south-eastern Anhui provinces. ^{[1] [2]}

Male G. tientaiensis measure 44 mm (1.7 in) and female 51 mm (2.0 in) in length. ^[3] Their natural habitats are open, low-gradient large streams and small rivers at elevations of 100–700 m (330–2,300 ft) above sea level. They sometimes also occur in still-water pools close to streams. This uncommon species is threatened by habitat loss. ^[1]
