Kaloula mediolineata is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in mainland Thailand, Laos, southwestern Vietnam (Dak Lak and Gia Lai), and possibly Cambodia.[1][2]

It is known mostly from areas originally covered with deciduous dipterocarp forest. It breeds in seasonal pools.[1]

Kaloula mediolineata is collected intensively for local consumption, including in northern Cambodia.[3] It is threatened by habitat loss and likely also by human consumption.[1]
