Sigalegalephrynus is a genus of toads in the family Bufonidae. Species are commonly known as puppet toads.
They are endemic to the mountains of Sumatra in Indonesia. They have both arboreal and troglodytic habits, being known from trees and rock hollows in montane habitats, including stratovolcanoes such as Sorikmarapi and Mount Kunyit. The genus is named after the si gale-gale, life-sized wooden puppets created by the indigenous Toba Batak people, referencing their relatively large size, lanky build, long arms, and wood-brown coloration.
