Nymphargus oreonympha (common name: Caqueta Cochran frog) is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae, formerly placed in Cochranella. It is endemic to Colombia where it occurs on the Cordillera Oriental in Florencia, the Caquetá Department.[2] Its natural habitat is cloud forest, including secondary forest, where it occurs on vegetation near streams. Its conservation status is unclear.[1]

Male Nymphargus oreonympha grow to a snout–vent length of 24–26 mm (0.94–1.02 in). The dorsum has numerous small tubercles.[3]
