Limnonectes nitidus (common name: Tanah Rata wart frog) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to Peninsular Malaysia where it is only known from the Cameron Highlands and Fraser's Hill, both in Pahang state.[2]

Limnonectes nitidus inhabits montane rainforests. These frogs congregate and breed in permanently wet seepage areas.[1]

Limnonectes nitidus has a small range, and its habitat is threatened by habitat loss caused by development for agriculture and tourism.[1]
