Litoria bella is a species of frog in the family Hylidae, first found in Cape York Peninsula. The species is most similar to L. gracilenta and L. chloris, but can be distinguished from its cogenerates by having a large male body size (between 34.5 to 41.8 millimetres (1.36 to 1.65 in)), a "near-immaculate" green dorsum, an orange venter, its bright orange-coloured digits and webbing, the purple lateral surfaces of its thighs, by lacking a canthal stripe, its white bones, and a single-note male advertisement call. Litoria bella inhabits rainforest and monsoon vine thicket near water.
