The Larut Hills Rice Frog (Microhyla annectens) is a species of frog in the Microhylidae family. It is found in Peninsular Malaysia; records from Thailand and elsewhere probably refer to other species.
Its natural habitats are evergreen submontane and montane rainforests. It lives on the forest floor and in puddles and breeds in temporary pools. It is locally threatened by habitat loss.
