Hyperolius leleupi is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is endemic to the Itombwe Mountains in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. This little known but likely rare species occurs in high-altitude bamboo forests at around 2,550 m (8,370 ft) above sea level. Habitat loss caused by agriculture, livestock and human settlements is likely a threat.
