'''''Micryletta inornata''''' is a rare species of [[frog]] in the family [[Microhylidae]]. It is [[Endemism|endemic]] to the island of [[Sumatra]] in [[Indonesia]], and is the [[type species]] for the genus ''[[Micryletta]]''.

Many populations of ''Micryletta'' found across [[southeast Asia]] and the [[Andaman Islands]] were formerly classified under this species, but a 2019 study found most of these to represent either [[Undescribed taxon|undescribed taxa]] of ''Micryletta'' or to fall under already-described related species such as ''[[Micryletta erythropoda|M. erythropoda]]''. Due to this, the study restricted the designation of ''M. inornata'' to just the populations known from Sumatra. These Sumatran populations had not been seen for over 129 years since Boulenger's description of the species until several were rediscovered during surveys while the study was underway.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Smith|first=Eric N.|last2=Biju|first2=S.
