Limnonectes beloncioi, also known as the Mindoro fanged frog, is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to the Philippines and currently known from Mindoro and Semirara Islands. It is morphologically similar, previously confused with, and closely related to Limnonectes acanthi. The actual range of L. beloncioi could be wider but the status of similar frogs beyond Mindoro and Semirara requires further study.
