Latonia is a genus of frogs in the family Alytidae (formerly Discoglossidae). It contains only one extant species (found in Israel and originally classified in the genus Discoglossus), though several fossil species are known from the Paleogene and Neogene periods (Upper Oligocene to Upper Pliocene) in Europe.
