Odorrana jingdongensis is a species of frog in the Ranidae family. It is known from southern China (Yunnan, Guangxi) and northern Vietnam (Fansipan in the Lào Cai Province), though it quite likely also occurs in the adjacent areas in Laos and in Myanmar. Its name refers to its type locality, Jingdong Yi Autonomous County in Yunnan.
Odorrana jingdongensis live in and near montane streams in forested areas, in particular near waterfalls. The species is threatened by habitat loss and overexploitation. This previously common species is now reported to be rare.
