Geocrinia leai, is a frog which is sometimes given the euphemism, Lea's Frog; which is of course derived from its name. It is a species in the taxonomic family, Myobatrachidae and is endemic to southwest Australia. As with the other species in the genera, Geocrinia, it is restricted to the high rainfall region at the south west of Western Australia; the very same Walpole/Nornalup district occupied by cogenor Geocrinia lutea. Ecology is similar to that of Geocrinia rosea, part of the so-called 'roseate complex'.
