Platymantis is a genus of frogs in the family Ceratobatrachidae. They are commonly known as wrinkled ground frogs, ground frogs,{{cite web |url=http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/Amphibia/Anura/Ceratobatrachidae/Platymantis |title=Platymantis Günther, 1858 |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=22 February 2014}}{{ITIS|id=173463 |taxon=Platymantis Günther, 1858}} and forest frogs.
As currently defined, Platymantis is a large genus with up to as many as 60 species found mostly in the Philippines. However, it is known to be paraphyletic. Solving this problem will likely lead to a more narrowly defined Platymantis, possibly by transferring some species to a larger Ceratobatrachus (with Batrachylodes).
Species
There are currently at least 30 extant species in this genus. Brown, et al. (2015){{cite journal |last1=Brown |first1=Rafe M. |last2=Siler |first2=Cameron D. |last3=Richards |first3=Stephen J. |last4=Diesmos |first4=Arvin C. |last5=Cannatella |first5=David C. |title=Multilocus phylogeny and a new classification for Southeast Asian and Melanesian forest frogs (family Ceratobatrachidae) |journal=Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society |volume=174 |issue=1 |year=2015 |pages=130–168 |doi=10.1111/zoj.12232|doi-access=free }} estimates that there may be a total of 50-60 species in Platymantis if all cryptic species were to be described.

=Species moved to genus ''[[Cornufer]]''=
Brown, et al. (2015) moved the Platymantis species of Oceania into the newly proposed genus Cornufer. Species in the Philippines remained in Platymantis.
