Leptopelis yaldeni is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is endemic to Ethiopia and occurs in the montane highlands in Gojjam.[1][3][4][5] Its range might be limited by the deep gorges of the Blue Nile.[2] It is named in honour of Derek Yalden, a British zoologist[6][7] who collected some of the types.[2] Common names Yalden's tree frog and grassland forest treefrog have been coined for this species.[3][6]
