Odorrana hainanensis is a species of frog in the Ranidae family that might be endemic to Hainan Island, China; there is one record from Guangxi. Prior to its description in 2001, it was confused with Odorrana andersonii.

Odorrana hainanensis is a very rare species inhabiting large to medium streams and the surrounding forests. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by agriculture, logging, and hydroposer development.

Description

Males measure 49–62 mm (1.9–2.4 in) and females 75–123 mm (3.0–4.8 in) in snout–vent length.
