Zweifel's frog, Lithobates zweifeli, is an amphibian species endemic to Mexico. It is a member of the true frog family, Ranidae.
The specific name, zweifeli, honors American herpetologist Richard G. Zweifel.

It is not considered threatened by the IUCN, although disturbance and desiccation of the water systems remains a threat.
