"The Frog God" (Chinese: 青蛙神; pinyin: Qīngwā Shén) is a short story by Pu Songling collected in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio (1740). It revolves around a Chinese bachelor who encounters the locally revered frog god and his subsequent romance with its daughter. The titular frog deity makes an immediate reappearance in the following story, a semi-sequel simply titled "You" (Chinese: 又; lit. 'Again') in Chinese or "Another Frog God Tale" in the 2014 English translation by Sidney L. Sondergard.
