Raorchestes sanjappai, the Periya bush frog, or Sanjappa's bush frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to India. Scientists have observed it in Periya in the Western Ghat mountains, approximately 750 meters above sea level.[2][3][1][4]

Scientists do not know much about this frog, and its resemblance to other frogs in Raorchestes makes it difficult to determine its two range. Like other frogs in Raorchestes, it breeds through direct development.[1]
