In this study, a new species, <i>Leptobrachella kungfu</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>, from Foshan City, central Guangdong Province, China, is described based on a combination of molecular and morphological data. Phylogenetically, the new species is closely related to <i>L. yunkaiensis</i> from western Guangdong Province and can be distinguished from all congeners by a combination of discrete morphological characters. A key to the species of this genus from Guangdong and a distribution map are provided to support further regional research and conservation.
