Breviceps pentheri, the thicket rain frog, is a species of frog found in South Africa and Eswatini, Mozambique, Botswana, and Namibia.

[1] Breviceps pentheri occurs in the northern part of the southern African range.

It prefers to dwell near shrubland.

[2] Breviceps pentheri has in the past been confused with Breviceps adspersus and listed as a synonym or subspecies of Breviceps adspersus but a study found that the frog was more closely related to the whistling rain frog and Bilbo's rain frog than Breviceps adspersus and it is now considered a different species entirely.
