Afrixalus lacteus is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae.

[2][4][5] The male advertisement call is a rather quiet, high-pitched buzzing.

Males call from the canopy of trees close to streams where breeding takes place.

It is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation associated with agricultural encroachment and collection of wood.

On Mount Manengouba a specific threat is deforestation caused by unsustainable harvesting of Prunus africana.
