"Rhacophorus" is a genus of frogs in the moss frog family (Rhacophoridae) which together with the related Hylidae makes up the true tree frogs. They live in India, Japan and Southeast Asia. It is closely related to "Polypedates", and several species of that genus were formerly placed in "Rhacophorus".

These frogs have long toes with strong webbing between them, enabling the animals to slow their fall to a glide. They are therefore among the anurans commonly known as "flying frogs".
