Chiromantis is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae, commonly known as foam-nest frogs or foam-nest tree frogs. It contains species from the Sub-Saharan African tropics. Following the molecular genetic study by Chen and colleagues (2020), the Asian species formerly assigned to Chiromantis have now been reclassified to the resurrected genus Chirixalus.
