Frog Jump is an unincorporated community in Crockett County, Tennessee, United States.{{GNIS|1647228}} The community lies along a rural stretch of State Route 88 between Halls to the west and Maury City to the east. The community's name is believed to be a humorous reference to its small size, namely that it's small enough for a frog to jump over in a single hop.Larry Miller, [https://books.google.com/books?id=zOzPQYkkbaAC Tennessee Place Names] (Indiana University Press, 2001), p. 80.
