Amietia quecketti (Boulenger, 1895) is a Southern African river frog known from South Africa, Lesotho, and southwards from Nyanga, Zimbabwe. This species is found in the highlands of southern and eastern Lesotho to above 2,000 m asl, in Natal in the permanent mountain streams originating in the Drakensberg Escarpment and with a wide distribution throughout South Africa, except in the dry west of the country.
