Adenomera lutzi is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. The species is endemic to Guyana. First described from the upper Potaro River based on specimens collected before 1905, it is now known from a number of sites around the Pakaraima Mountains in west-central Guyana. The specific name lutzi honors Adolfo Lutz, a Brazilian medical entomologist and parasitologist and a pioneer of herpetology. The common names Lutz's tropical bullfrog and Lutz's thin-toed frog have been coined for the species.
