Philautus erythrophthalmus is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Malaysia. People have seen it between 1,000 and 1,550 m meters above sea level.

This frog lives in oak forests, but scientists have observed at least one specimen in a logged area.

This frog is endangered because of deforestation associated with agriculture, especially palm oil, logging.
