Diasporus diastema is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae.{{cite web |url=http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/Amphibia/Anura/Eleutherodactylidae/Eleutherodactylinae/Diasporus/Diasporus-diastema |title=Diasporus diastema (Cope, 1875) |author=Frost, Darrel R. |year=2014 |work=Amphibian Species of the World: an Online Reference. Version 6.0 |publisher=American Museum of Natural History |access-date=24 September 2014}} Common names include common tink frog or dink frog, supposedly because of the loud metallic "tink" sound that the male frog makes during the night.{{cite web |url=http://amphibianrescue.org/2012/01/02/just-calling-for-a-kiss/ |title=Just calling for a kiss. Cute Frog of the Week: January 2, 2012 |author= |date=2 January 2012 |publisher=Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project |access-date=24 September 2014}} It is found in Central America, from Honduras through Nicaragua and Costa Rica to Panama. Its natural habitats are tropical humid lowland forests and montane forests, but it can use very disturbed habitats. It is found from sea level to {{convert|1620|m|abbr=on}} elevation.

Its color during daylight hours, when it hides, is grayish brown with spots or bars; when it emerges at night and becomes active, the frog takes on a pale pink or tan color.

The adult female reaches up to 1 inch (24 mm) long, and the male about 3/4 inch (21 mm). The tink frog has no free-swimming tadpole stage, and instead emerges as a miniature frog directly from the egg. Eggs are laid in bromeliads and tended by the male.

The diet of the tink frog consists mainly of ants and other arthropods.
