赤蛙屬（Rana）也稱林赤蛙屬、赤赤蛙屬，是赤蛙科的一個屬，分佈於歐亞大陸、北美洲、中美洲及南美洲北部。很多其他的屬以往都包括在內。^[1][2]

一般赤蛙屬的體形頗大，腰部幼長及皺皮。大部份的背部隆起，但卻沒有蟾蜍的疣。牠們的腳幼長，善於跳躍。後肢上的蹼令牠們在水中可以靈活的運動。牠們背部一般呈綠色及褐色，有深色及黃色的斑點。一些蛙類（如：箭毒蛙）身上有鮮艷的色彩，用做警告敵人：『我有毒。』

赤蛙屬很多時都在初春繁殖，而生活在亞熱帶及熱帶的物種全年都會繁殖。很多雄蛙都會叫，但有一些卻不會發聲。雌蛙會一排排或球狀式產卵，每次可以產達2萬顆。

分類

赤蛙屬目前有約90個物種，但其分類則仍有爭議^[2][3][4]。2006年，Frost等人將本屬的部分物種劃為獨立屬別，但後來2016年Yuan等人的研究認為這樣的分類會使其他屬成為併系群，為了維持本屬的單系性，建議使用亞屬代替提升為屬級的做法^[5]。

目前已自立的屬有拇棘赤蛙屬（Babina）、Clinotarsus、腺赤蛙屬（Glandirana）、Hydrophylax、水赤蛙屬（Hylarana）、臭赤蛙屬（Odorrana）、側褶赤蛙屬（Pelophylax）^[6]、琴赤蛙屬(Nidirana)^[7]、Pulchrana、Sanguirana及Sylvirana。當中臭赤蛙屬是赤蛙屬的近親，有可能重置於赤蛙屬中。^[1][2]

系統分類學

本分類樹依照Yuan等人於2016年的論文繪製^[8]：
