The orange-thighed frog, northern orange-eyed frog or lime tree frog ("Litoria xanthomera") is a species of tree frogs. They live in tropical places in Queensland, Australia.

Male orange-thighed frogs gather in groups in ponds. They call for a mate from branches or on the edge of the water. Their call is a long "aaa-rk". They mate with females after a heavy rainfall.
