Ingerophrynus is a genus of true toads with 12 species. The genus is found in southern Yunnan and Southeast Asia; from Myanmar and Indochina to peninsular Thailand and Malaya, Sumatra, Borneo, Java, Nias Island, Sulawesi, and the Philippines. This genus was established after a major taxonomical revision of frogs in 2006.

==Taxonomy and systematics== Ten species currently assigned to this genus were formerly treated as members of the genus Bufo, most of them within the assemblage previously referred to as the Bufo biporcatus group. The remaining species were transferred to Ingerophrynus on the basis of molecular phylogenetic evidence. In 2007, a further species, Ingerophrynus gollum, was described and included in the genus.
