The following is a list of amphibians of Northeast India. The presence of amphibian species in each of the seven Northeastern states is indicated by green checkmarks. Species endemic to Northeast India are labeled as endemic. The list is based on Sen (2004), with additional records from Nagaland included from Ao, et al. (2003).

Due to its humid climate, Meghalaya has the most amphibian species diversity.
