Arthroleptis adolfifriederici is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, and Uganda. Several common names have been coined for it, including Rugege Forest squeaker, Rugegewald squeaker, Adolf Friedrich's squeaker frog, and Adolf's squeaker.
The specific name adolfifriederici is named for Duke Adolf Friedrich of Mecklenburg, German explorer and colonial politician, based on the "stately form" of the species.
