Rana es un género de la familia Ranidae. Estas especies incluyen las ranas toro. Miembros del género son hallados en todos los contienentes, excepto en la Antártida.

Estas verdaderas ranas se caracterizan por sus cinturas delgadas y la piel lisa. Son saltadores excelentes debido a sus patas delgadas largas. La membrana interdigital típico de sus patas posteriores permite el movimiento fácil en el agua.

La mayoría de las ranas en este género cría a principio de la primavera, comenzando con la llamada (canto) de los machos. Las hembras ponen huevos en las balsas y alcanzando posturas de 20.000 huevos.
