Afrixalus stuhlmanni is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is found in Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique.[2]

Its natural habitats are moist savanna, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, shrub-dominated wetlands, swamps, freshwater marshes, arable land, rural gardens, urban areas, heavily degraded former forest, ponds, irrigated land, seasonally flooded agricultural land, and canals and ditches. It can tolerate many types of habitat and is common to abundant in some areas.[1]

This is considered by some authors to represent a species complex that includes several other species of frog in the genus. These can be considered subspecies:[2][3]
