Brachytarsophrys orientalis, the Oriental short-legged toad, is a species of litter frog in the family Megophryidae.

[2][3] It is the easternmost species within the genus Brachytarsophrys, hence the specific name orientalis.

[1] This species is different from other short-legged toads because of its smaller adult size, moderate webbing, and the tadpoles lacking transversal stripes on their chest.

The male develops nuptial pads on the dorsal surface of the last and second fingers and calls during August from under rocks in streams.

[1] Brachytarsophrys orientalis is known from montane streams surrounded by moist subtropical evergreen broadleaf forest at elevations between 200 and 700 m (660 and 2,300 ft) above sea level.
