Nanorana yunnanensis (common names: Yunnan paa frog, Yunnan spiny frog) is a species of frog in the Dicroglossidae family. It is found in southwestern China, Vietnam, Myanmar, and likely in the intervening Laos. Its natural habitats are rocky streams in montane forests and grasslands, but it has also been found in ditches. It is threatened primarily by collection for human consumption, but also by habitat loss.

Nanorana yunnanensis are relatively large frogs: males grow to a snout–vent length of about 98 mm (3.9 in) and females to 99 mm (3.9 in). Tadpoles are up to 52 mm (2.0 in) in length.
