The cave-dwelling frog (Pelodryas cavernicola) is a large species of tree frog in the family Pelodryadidae. It is endemic to the extreme north-west of Australia, particularly the Mitchell Plateau (including Mitchell River National Park), Prince Regent River region, the Mueller Ranges and Bigge Island. As suggested by its name, the cave-dwelling frog inhabits caves and deep crevices in the rocky escarpments that typify the Kimberleys region.

The appearance of the cave-dwelling frog is typical of the genus Pelodryas which are large, green tree frogs. Two other species of Pelodryas inhabit the Kimberleys: the Australian green tree frog and Magnificent tree frog, but the cave-dwelling frog is smaller and slighter in build than both of these species.
