Rentapia everetti, also known as Everett's Asian tree toad or marbled tree toad, is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to Borneo and occurs in both Malaysia, Brunei, and Indonesia.[1][2]

Rentapia everetti is an arboreal toad found in hilly lowland, and submontane, tropical primary moist forest and good secondary forest. The size of these toads is unknown.[3] Breeding probably takes place in small, slow-moving, clear, rocky streams.[1]

Rentapia everetti are recognizable by their morphological traits, including large oval parotoid glands, numerous round warts, and a sharp tarsal fold.[4]
