Geocrinia lutea is a species of frog in the Myobatrachidae family. It is sometimes named for the nearby towns, thus the Nornalup or Walpole frog. It is endemic to Southwest Australia, home to five of the seven cogenors in the Geocrinia family.

It is threatened by habitat loss and an altered fire regime, this and other factors contributed to the 2004 reassessment as Near Threatened (NT). The habit, appearance and ecology is similar to that of the species, Geocrinia rosea.
