In most of the rest of the world, especially in North America and Europe, "grass frogs" are usually members of the true frog family (Ranidae), in particular of the genus Rana.

The widespread African true frog species Ptychadena mascareniensis is the archetypal "grass frog" of its home continent. In Asia, it is Rana chensinensis. The Common Frog (Rana temporaria) is the typical "grass frog" of much of Europe, while the leopard frogs of the Rana pipiens complex - also known as "meadow frogs" - are what most North Americans know as "grass frogs". However, the Little Grass Frog (Pseudacris ocularis) of the southeastern USA belongs to the tree frogs.

The Spotted Grass Frog, Limnodynastes tasmaniensis belongs to the Australian ground frog family (Myobatrachidae).
