Leimatak's bush frog (Raorchestes manipurensis) is a frog. It lives in India, in Manipur and Meghalaya. Scientists have seen it in the Western Ghat mountains.[2][3] People have seen it between 636 and 685 meters above sea level.[1]

Scientists found this frog in the dry place where a river had been. It was near bamboo. The frogs hid under small rocks and dry leaves. Scientists think this frog hatches out of its egg as a small frog, like other frogs in Raorchestes.[1]
