Pleurodema cinereum is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in the Andes in northwestern Argentina , Bolivia, and southeastern Peru. Its common name is Juliaca four-eyed frog, after its type locality, Juliaca.[2] Pleurodema borellii is possibly a junior synonym of this species.[3]

Its natural habitats are open montane puna grasslands and semi-deciduous forests. Reproduction takes place in small permanent and temporary pools where pairs build floating foam nests. It is a common species facing no major threats.[1]
