Litoria pratti, commonly known as Pratt's tree frog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. It is endemic to the Vogelkopf Peninsula, West Papua, Indonesia, where the type series was collected. [3] There are no confirmed records of this species after it was first recorded, so very little information exists on it. [1]

Litoria pratti is named after Antwerp Edgar Pratt, an explorer who collected the type series. [2] [4]
