Niceforonia columbiana is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae, sometimes known as the Colombian Andes frog. It is endemic to Colombia.[2][3] It is only known from the holotype, which is now lost. The type locality, "Monte Redondo, Buenavista" on the Cordillera Oriental, is in either Cundinamarca or Meta Department,[1][2][3] and is considered questionable by some.[4] It might be a synonym of Leptodactylus hylaedactylus[1] (=Adenomera hylaedactyla).
The type locality is at 1,000–1,300 m (3,300–4,300 ft) asl,[1][2] probably a cloud forest.[1] This contrasts with the higher-altitude paramo habitats of the other two Niceforonia species.[4] There is habitat loss in the area.[1]
