Litoria pratti (common name: Pratt's tree frog) is a species of frogs in the family Hylidae. 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]
