Philautus gunungensis is a species of frog in the Rhacophoridae family. It is endemic to the Mount Kinabalu region, in Sabah (Malaysia), Borneo.[2]

Its natural habitat is tropical montane forest at around 1,400–1,500 m (4,600–4,900 ft) asl. There are no specific threats to it, and its known range is within the Gunung Kinabalu National Park. Nevertheless, its small range makes it vulnerable to stochastic events.[1]
