Odorrana morafkai is a species of frogs in the family Ranidae that is found in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.[3] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and rivers. Its status is insufficiently known.[4]

This frog is highly unusual because it turns from its daytime green color to brown at night.[5]
