Schultze's stream frog (Ptychohyla leonhardschultzei) is a frog. It lives in Mexico. It lives on the Pacific side (west side) of the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains. It lives in the states of Oaxaca and Guerrero. People have seen this frog between 700 and 2000 meters above sea level.[1][2][3]

Some scientists said they had seen this frog on the Atlantic side (east side) of the mountains, but this was really another frog: Ptychohyla zophodes.[1]
