Amolops ricketti (Chinese sucker frog or South China torrent frog) is a species of frog in the Ranidae family that is found in southern and eastern China and northern and central montane Vietnam. George Albert Boulenger described Amolops ricketti based on two specimens collected by Irish ornithologist John D. La Touche in Guadun village in Wuyishan, Fujian, China. The specific name honours Mr. C. B. Rickett, a British ornithologist active in China. Antimicrobial peptides that are candidates for developing novel anti-infection agents can be extracted from the skin secretions of Amolops ricketti.
