Leptodactylus petersii (common name: Peters' thin-toed frog, in Spanish sapito de Peters, i.e. "Peters' toadlet") is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found widely in the Guianas and the Amazon Basin (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela). It has been confused with Leptodactylus podicipinus and Leptodactylus wagneri, complicating the interpretation of older records and accounts.
