Kurixalus gracilloides, the gracile frilled treefrog, is a frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to northern Vietnam's Nghệ An province, where it has been observed at elevations greater than 150 meters above sea level.[2][3][1]

The adult male frog measures 27.9–31.2 mm long in snout-vent length. The skin of the dorsum is gold-brown in color with a saddle-shaped darker mark. There is some fringed skin on its legs. There is some webbed skin on the front feet and more on the back feet.[4]
