Hylarana macrodactyla is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is also known as the Guangdong frog, three-striped grass frog and the marbled slender frog.

It is found in Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, rivers, swamps, freshwater lakes, rural gardens, heavily degraded former forest, ponds, and irrigated land. It is threatened by habitat loss, depending on the wetland to sustain their populations during the adverse conditions in dry season.
