Rana brama is a species of frog. It is only known from a single illustration (its holotype); the illustration may correspond to a specimen in the National Museum of Natural History (France). It is not possible to relate this species to any known populations of frogs. It is placed incertae sedis in the genus Fejervarya. Its type locality is "Bengale",[1] overlapping with the modern states of India and Bangladesh. It is included on the list of "lost" amphibians of India.[2]

Rana brama has been listed as "Data Deficient" (as Fejervarya brama) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species,[3] but as of 2015, it is no longer included on the list.[4]
