Geocrinia leai, is a frog which is sometimes given the euphemism, Lea's Frog; which is of course derived from its name. It is a species in the taxonomic family, Myobatrachidae and is endemic to southwest Australia. As with the other species in the genera, Geocrinia, it is restricted to a the high rainfall region at the south west of Western Australia; the very same Walpole/Nornalup district occupied by cogenor Geocrinia lutea. Ecology is similar to that of Geocrinia rosea, part of the so called 'roseate complex'.
