Amolops monticola is a species of frog in the family Ranidae, the "true frogs". It is found in the Northeast India, eastern Nepal, and western China (Tibet, Yunnan), although there is some uncertainty regarding the Chinese records. It probably also occurs in the intervening Bhutan. Common names mountain sucker frog, mountain stream frog, mountain torrent frog, and mountain cascade frog have been coined for it.

As is characteristic for the Amolops monticola group, skin is smooth, dorsolateral folds are present, and the side of head is dark, with a light-colored upper lip stripe extending to the shoulder. The tympanum is distinct. The finger and toe tips bear discs. The toes are webbed. Males have paired vocal sac.
Tadpoles measure up to 66 mm (2.6 in) in total length, of which about two thirds is made up by the tail.
