Leptobrachella melica (musical leaf-litter toad or Virachey litter toad; , ) is a frog species in the family Megophryidae. It is endemic to Cambodia where it is only known from near its type locality, Virachey National Park, Ratanakiri Province; it is expected to have a wider distribution that may reach Laos and Vietnam. Leptobrachella melica have only been found near rocky streams in evergreen forest between altitude.

Description L. melica is a small species even among the generally small members of its genus: seven adult males were recorded to measure in snout-vent length. It is morphologically similar to Leptobrachella applebyi. The advertisement call of male L. melica is unique, consisting of a single long introductory note containing 8–50 pulses, followed by 3–11 predominantly single-pulsed notes.
