Khoi's mossy frog (Theloderma khoii) is a frog. It lives in northern Vietnam and southern China, in Yunnan Province. People have seen it between 1320 and 1750 meters above sea level in Vietnam and about 1600 meters above sea level in China.[1][2]

The adult male frog is about 52.1 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is about 59.4 mm long. The skin on the frog's back has many warts on it. The skin on the frog's back is dark green, like moss. There is some magenta color.[3]
