Indorana is an extinct genus of lissamphibians which existed in what is now India during the Early Eocene. The type and only known species is Indorana prasadi.[1]

The genus name comes from Latin Indo- ("India") and rana ("frog), while the species is named in honor of the Indian paleontologist Guntupalli V.R. Prasad.[1]
