The Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frog (Rana sierrae) is a true frog endemic to the Sierra Nevada of California and Nevada in the United States. R. sierrae was formerly considered R. muscosa, until a 2007 study identified populations north of the Middle Fork Kings River (north of the Monarch Divide and Mather Pass in Kings Canyon National Park) as R. sierrae, with R. muscosa then confined to the southern Sierra Nevada, south of the Middle Fork Kings River and west of the Sierra Crest, and within the transverse ranges of southern California.
Once abundant in the Sierra Nevada, some estimates suggest populations of R. sierrae have declined over 90% (although other agency estimates suggest the declines for R. sierrae may have been around 70%, when comparing historic vs occupied localities, as of 2011). The potential ecological effects of these declines are not fully known, but the species was once highly abundant in the Sierra Nevada, and is therefore likely important for nutrient and energy cycling in alpine aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
