Nymphargus spilotus is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae, formerly placed in Cochranella. It is endemic to Colombia where it occurs on the Cordillera Central in Samaná, the Caldas Department.[2] Its natural habitat is sub-Andean forest where it occurs on vegetation alongside streams. Its conservation status is unclear.[1]

Male Nymphargus spilotus grow to a snout–vent length of 25–26 mm (0.98–1.02 in). The dorsum is finely shagreen.[3]
