Minervarya is a genus of frogs in the Dicroglossidae family endemic to India. Some authors argue that it is a synonym of Fejervarya because generic recognition of Minervarya may render Fejervarya paraphyletic.[1]

- Minervarya chilapata Ohler, Deuti, Grosjean, Paul, Ayyaswamy, Ahmed, and Dutta, 2009
