Alsodes verrucosus (common name: olive spiny-chest frog) is a species of frog in the Alsodidae family. It is found in the Andes of Chile (Cautín and Puyehue) and Neuquén and Río Negro Provinces, Argentina. These frogs inhabit temperate Nothofagus forests where they occur under logs and near damp areas. Tadpoles develop in cold, deep streams. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by logging.
