Hylarana siberu, commonly known as the Siberut Island frog, is a species of true frog. It resembles the Hylarana picturata, but can be distinguished by its continuous dorsolateral stripe, an immaculate dorsum without spots and the males lack nuptial pads.

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss. It is found in Siberut Island and possibly Sumatra, Indonesia, and Pahang, Malaysia.
