The Mt Glorious Day Frog, Mt Glorious Torrent Frog, or Southern Day Frog (Taudactylus diurnus) was a species of frog in the Myobatrachidae family. It was endemic to Australia. Its natural habitats were subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, and intermittent rivers. Reasons for this species decline have not been confirmed but it very likely to be a result of chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.
It is listed as Extinct on the IUCN Red List, but is still listed as Endangered under Queensland's Nature Conservation Act 1992.
