Telmatobufo is a genus of frogs (false toads) endemic to southern Chile . Their closest living relative is the monotypic helmeted water toad, Calyptocephalella gayi. These frogs were recently removed from the Leptodactylidae and placed in a new family, the Calyptocephalellidae.[1] All three species of Telmatobufo that have been assessed by the IUCN are considered threatened.[2]

The four species are:[1]
- Telmatobufo australis Formas, 1972
- Telmatobufo bullocki Schmidt, 1952
- Telmatobufo ignotus Cuevas, 2010
