The Koh Chang frog or Koh Chang wart frog (Limnonectes kohchangae) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae.[1][2] It is found in east Thailand and southern Cambodia. Records from Laos and Vietnam represent other species.[1]

Limnonectes kohchangae inhabit evergreen hill forests as well as modified habitats such as gardens and plantations. They breed in slow-moving sections of streams but outside the breeding season are found dispersed on the forest floor. There are no major threats to this species; it is not considered threatened by the IUCN.[1]
