Buergeria is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae, and the sole genus of subfamily Buergeriinae. It is the sister taxon for all the other rhacophorids (subfamily Rhacophorinae). The available genetic data firmly supports this position.

Buergeria are sometimes known as '''Buerger's frogs'. The six species are found only in the islands of East Asia, from Hainan (China) and Taiwan through the Ryukyu Islands to Honshu (Japan).
