Gracixalus gracilipes, commonly known as the Chapa bubble-nest frog, black eye-lidded small tree frog, yellow and black-spotted tree frog or slender-legged bush frog, is a species of shrub frog from northern Vietnam, southern China (Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong), and northwestern Thailand (and, presumably, also in adjacent Myanmar).

G. gracilipes is a small frog: males grow to about 22 mm (0.87 in) and females to about 39 mm (1.5 in) in snout-vent length. It inhabits evergreen and bamboo forests. The eggs are deposited on leaves overhanging temporary forest pools; upon hatching, the tadpoles drop into the water where their development continues.
