Leptobrachella applebyi (Appleby's Leaf-litter Toad) (formerly as: Leptolalax applebyi) is a species of frog in the family Megophryidae. It is endemic to Vietnam where it is only known from near its type locality, Song Thanh Nature Reserve, Phước Sơn District in Quảng Nam Province of central Vietnam.[2]

Laptobrachella applebyi is a montane species found near streams. It is a small species even among generally small Laptobrachella: five adult males were recorded to measure 20–21 mm (0.79–0.83 in) in snout-vent length and a single female 22 mm (0.87 in) SVL.[1]
