Megophrys is a genus of frogs (Anura) in the family Megophryidae. They commonly have elongated upper "eyebrows" and are thus known as Asian horned frogs. They belong to the suborder Mesobatrachia and are therefore by no means close relatives of the South American horned frogs (Ceratophrys), which are Neobatrachia.
