Uperodon globulosus or Indian Balloon Frog is a species of narrow-mouthed frog found in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. It is known under many common names: Indian globular frog, Indian balloon frog, grey balloon frog, and greater balloon frog. Specimens from the Western Ghats may represent an undescribed species.
Uperodon globulosus is very stout in appearance, even more so than its close relative Uperodon systoma. They grow up to 76 mm (3 in) in snout–vent length. It is a fossorial species that is found in both forests and agricultural land.
