Raorchestes luteolus (sometimes known as Coorg yellow bush frog) is a species of frog in the Rhacophoridae family. It is endemic to the Western Ghats, India, where it is only known from the state of Karnataka. Many of the known populations are from the Kodagu district, known also by its anglicised former name of Coorg—hence the common name. It is also known from the Shimoga district in the Sharavathi basin where it was described as a new species, Philautus neelanethrus (blue-eyed bush frog), but this is now considered to be a junior synonym of Raorchestes luteolus.
