Discodeles vogti (common name: Admiralty Island webbed frog) is a species of frog in the Ceratobatrachidae family. It is endemic to the Rambutyo Island, one of the Admiralty Islands, Papua New Guinea.
Discodeles vogti inhabit streams in tropical rain forests, but they can also been found in suburban areas, rural gardens, and other degraded habitats, albeit at lower densities than in mature forests. The species breeds by direct development and lays its eggs on the ground. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by logging. It is also consumed for food.
