拉斯维加斯豹纹蛙（Rana fisheri），维加斯谷蛙，是美国特有的一种蛙。牠们于美国拉斯维加斯及内华达州的克拉克县和莫戈永山西北部地区海拔370及760米出现。^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

在克拉克县曾发现了10个拉斯维加斯豹纹蛙的标本，并存放在密歇根大学。^[6]^[7]由于曾许久未被再次观察到，在2011年以前，它们被认为已经灭绝。^[1]^[5]而在2011年，一项基因分析表明，拉斯维加斯豹纹蛙的DNA与分布在莫戈永山西北部地区的奇里卡瓦豹纹蛙（英语：Rana chiricahuensis）(Rana chiricahuensis)完全一致，而后者目前仍是一个现生种。^[8]^[9]这意味它们并没有绝灭，且与奇里卡瓦豹纹蛙的莫戈永山西北部地区种群属同一物种。^[10]根据命名优先权，位于莫戈永山西北部地区的种群，重新定义归类至拉斯维加斯豹纹蛙，而分布于南部和东部地区的种群则继续沿用奇里卡瓦豹纹蛙的学名。^[8]
