Oreolalax weigoldi, also known as Weigold's lazy toad or Weigold's toothed toad, is a species of amphibian in the family Megophryidae. It is endemic to Sichuan, China . It is only known from its type locality, Washan in southern Sichuan;[1][2] there are, however, many places with this name in Sichuan.[1] It might be the same species as Oreolalax major (Liu and Hu, 1960).[2]
