Boana prasina is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Southeastern Brazil and known from the states of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, and possibly further south. Common name Burmeister's treefrog has been proposed to this species.
Boana prasina occurs in forested habitats and in grassland and pastureland at elevations of 800–1,400 m (2,600–4,600 ft) above sea level. These frogs are usually found on vegetation near ponds, pools, and lakes. Breeding takes place in permanent pools and small streams; the egg clutches are attached to vegetation in the water.
Boana prasina is a common species, although some populations appear to have disappeared. It is threatened by water pollution and habitat loss caused by fire. It is present in several protected areas.
