Froggyland is a taxidermy frog museum in Split, Croatia.

The museum's 21 dioramas featuring 507 frogs were created by Hungarian taxidermist Ferenc Mere, who created the displays between 1910 and 1920. He sourced frogs from the lake next to his family brick factory. The collection originally consisted of over 1000 samples. They feature the frogs engaging in human acts, such as teaching a classroom full of frogs or dancing ballroom. After his death in 1947, the collection sat in an attic in Zemun, Belgrade, Serbia, where they were damaged due to its humid atmosphere.

Froggyland began as a traveling museum after the Medvesek family bought and restored some of the dioramas in Serbia in the 1960s. There are 21 cases of thematically displayed frogs. They later opened a physical location in Split, Croatia. The museum remained with the family until June 2021, when it was announced that a group of American investors had purchased Froggyland.

Froggyland had 50,000 visitors in 2019 in a record year of tourism for Croatia. Since the COVID-19 pandemic in Croatia began in 2020, tickets dropped to a few thousand. They were located in the city's old town and primarily attracted foreigners.
