The Blyth's River Frog or Giant Asian River Frog (Limnonectes blythii), sometimes (ambiguously) called "giant frog" is a species of frog in the Ranidae family. It is found in Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and possibly Cambodia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and rivers. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss.
