Moore's frog, Lithobates johni, is a frog species in the true frog family (Ranidae). It is endemic to Mexico, where it is known as rana de Moore after its obsolete scientific name, which had already been given to an unrelated fossil frog species earlier.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
