Litoria wapogaensis is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. It is endemic to West Papua, Indonesia, and only known from its type locality in the headwaters of the Wapoga River at about 1,100 m (3,600 ft) above sea level.[2]

Its natural habitat is tropical rainforest with small, slow-flowing streams, its breeding habitat. While the known range is very small, it was reasonably common there. There are no known threats to this species.[1]
