Arthroleptis nikeae, also known as Nike's squeaker, is a species of frogs in the family Arthroleptidae. It is endemic to the Mafwemiro Reserve in the Rubeho Mountains of Tanzania.[1][2][3] It was named after conservationist Nike Doggart, who first found it.[3][4] With a maximum snout–vent length of 57 mm (2.2 in), it is among the largest Arthroleptis species.[3][5]
