Colleeneremia is a genus of arboreal frogs in the family Pelodryadidae. These frogs are native to central, eastern and northern Australia; New Guinea and surrounding islands, and East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. They are small-to-medium-sized frogs, inhabiting a very wide range of habitats, from the central deserts of Australia to New Guinea rainforests.
Species in the genus were previously included within the wastebasket genus Litoria, but were separated into the resurrected genus Colleeneremia in 2025. A separate 2025 study found that the Australian Colleeneremia rubella were in fact three distinct species, with one species spread across much of arid central Australia and the tropical savannah in northern Australia. A second species, the western desert tree frog, is found in central western Australia and the third, the ruddy tree frog, is found in Cape York Peninsula and east of the Great Dividing Range.
