The Sumatran puddle frog (Occidozyga sumatrana) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It might be endemic to Indonesia. However, it has often been confused with Occidozyga laevis , and was also for long considered to be its junior synonym.

Its known distribution is restricted to Sumatra and Java, as well as Sipora and Simeulue islands. [1] The true distribution of this species is therefore poorly known but likely to be wider (perhaps from India through Malaysia to southern China). [2] Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, intermittent freshwater marshes, and canals and ditches. It is threatened by habitat loss. [1] However it has most recently been reported in Singapore on August 23rd 2018 [3]
