Pristimantis gretathunbergae, Greta Thunberg's rainfrog, is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae, native to Panama. It is named in honor of climate activist Greta Thunberg.^[2] It lives in small pools of water held in bromeliads growing on the cloud forests of and other mountains of the Darién Gap, and of central Panama.^[3]^[4]

The type specimen was discovered by an international team of biologists led by Abel Batista, from Panama, and Konrad Mebert from Switzerland in Cerro Chucantí, a private reserve located in the province of Darién.^[5]
