The little grass frog (Pseudacris ocularis) is a species of chorus frog endemic to the Southeastern United States.

The little grass frog is found in the coastal plain of southeastern Virginia, eastern North Carolina, eastern South Carolina, and southern Georgia, as well as in western and peninsular Florida.

P. ocularis is the smallest frog in North America, only reaching a maximum head-body length of 19 mm (0.75 in). It is normally pale brown, but can have a green or pink tinge.

This species is mostly found around marshy swamps.
