Hyperolius marginatus is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It has been recorded from the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. However, the limits of its distribution are very uncertain, and it is likely to occur in Burundi and Rwanda too. Common names coined for this species include margined sedge frog and margined reed frog.
