Cryptobatrachus fuhrmanni commonly known as Fuhrmann's backpack frog is a species of frog belonging to the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to Colombia and occurs on all three Andean cordilleras: the eastern slope of the Cordillera Occidental, the northern and eastern flanks of the Cordillera Central, and the western slope of the Cordillera Oriental. The specific name fuhrmanni is in honor of Otto Fuhrmann, a Swiss zoologist and helminthologist.
