Altiphrynoides or Ethiopian toads, is a genus of true toads native to the highlands of south-central Ethiopia in the Arussi, Bale, and Sidamo Provinces. Both species are threatened by habitat loss. They were formerly included in Nectophrynoides, but lack the unusual reproductive mode of those species (they lay eggs, while Nectophrynoides give birth to fully developed young). Conversely, some authorities treat Altiphrynoides as a monotypic genus for Altiphrynoides malcolmi, placing Altiphrynoides osgoodi in another monotypic genus, Spinophrynoides.
