The Salmon-striped Frog (Limnodynastes salmini) is a species of ground dwelling frog native to southeastern Queensland and northern New South Wales, Australia. It is similar to the Striped Marsh Frog, from which it can be distinguished by the orange or red stripes.

Males make an “unk-unk-unk” call from vegetation in water after heavy rains in spring, summer and autumn.
