Euphlyctis ehrenbergii (Arabian five-fingered frog or Arabian skittering frog) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to the southwestern Arabian Peninsula in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. It has been treated as a subspecies of Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis, but is now considered as a valid species.[1] The specific name ehrenbergii honours Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg (1795–1876), a German natural scientist.[2]

E. ehrenbergii is restricted to areas of permanent and temporary water in the Red Sea coast of Yemen and Saudi Arabia. A very aquatic species, it can also be present in irrigated areas.[3]
