Limnonectes finchi, Finch's wart frog, is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae endemic to Sabah, Malaysia, but it might well occur in adjacent Kalimantan.

L. finchi shows some parental care: male frogs guard eggs and carry the tadpoles to small rain pools on the forest floor where the rest of larval development occurs.
