The Aru tree frog (Litoria aruensis) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Indonesia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical swamps. It was originally described on Aru Islands and Misool and may only exist here; it may also exist on Papua although this is not confirmed. It is threatened by habitat destruction by logging and agriculture.
