Telmatobius is a genus of frogs native to the Andean highlands in South America, where they are found in Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, northwestern Argentina and northern Chile. It is the only genus in the family Telmatobiidae. Some sources recognize Batrachophrynus as a valid genus distinct from Telmatobius.
Telmatobius arequipensis is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to southern Peru. It has an altitudinal range of 2,000–4,500 m (6,600–14,800 ft) asl. Two subspecies have been described, Telmatobius arequipensis arequipensis and Telmatobius arequipensis natatorVellard, 1955. Its common name is Chili water frog, after its type locality near Río Chili.
Telmatobius atacamensis is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Argentina. Its natural habitats are rivers and swampland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Telmatobius brevirostris is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are moist montane forest, high-altitude shrubland, and rivers. It does not occur in cultivated areas. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Telmatobius ceiorum is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae, and which is endemic to Argentina. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and rivers, and it is threatened by habitat loss.

Telmatobius dankoi, also known as the Loa water frog, is a species of critically endangered aquatic frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Chile and is only known from its type locality near Calama, in the El Loa province. Only 14 individuals are known from captivity following the destruction of its habitat prior to 2019, so it may already be extinct in the wild. However, it is doubtfully distinct from Telmatobius halli and thus may not be a distinct species.
