Pseudophilautus zimmeri is an extinct species of frog in the Rhacophoridae family. It was endemic to Sri Lanka, where it was recorded from the vicinity of Galle. It was a small frog—the holotype measures 31.6 mm from snout to vent—which resembled Pseudophilautus fulvus. P. zimmeri is assumed to have become extinct due to habitat loss caused by urbanization.
