Phantasmarana jordanensis is a species of frog in the family Hylodidae. It is endemic to southeastern Brazil and only known from its type locality, Campos do Jordão in the São Paulo state.[2] Its natural habitat is forest at 1,700 m (5,600 ft) asl.[1]

Tadpoles are large, measuring up to 107 mm (4.2 in) in total length, of which the tail makes about two thirds.[3]

It was formerly placed in the genus Megaelosia, but was reclassified to Phantasmarana in 2021.[4][5]
