Eleutherodactylus grahami is a species of frog in the Eleutherodactylidae family. It is endemic to Artibonite, Haiti, the northwestern region of the country. Its common name is Graham's robber frog.[2]

Eleutherodactylus grahami occurs on limestone ridges with boulders and xerophytic vegetation at elevations of 20–330 m (66–1,083 ft) asl. It is moderately common in suitable habitat, but threatened by extreme habitat loss caused by charcoaling and small-scale agriculture; only pockets of suitable habitat remain.[1]
