The Garo Hills bubble-nest frog, Garo Hills bush frog, or Garo Hills shrub frog (Philautus garo) is a frog. It lives in India, in the Garo Hills. People have seen it between 90 and 500 meters above sea level.[2][1][3]

The adult frog is about 13 mm long from nose to rear end. There is no webbed skin on the front feet. There is some webbed skin on the back feet. There are disks on the toes for climbing. The disks on the toes are almost as big as the eardrum on the side of the frog's head. The skin of the frog's back is gray with a dark brown mark between the eyes. The mark is in the shape of an hourglass.[4]
