Batrachylidae is a family of frogs from southern South America (Argentina and Chile). Before being recognized as a family, Batrachylidae was included as a subfamily (Batrachylinae) in the Ceratophryidae family; this is the taxonomy still suggested by the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS).

There are four genera in the family:

  • Atelognathus Lynch, 1978 (7 species)
  • Batrachyla Bell, 1843 (5 species)
  • Chaltenobatrachus Basso, Úbeda, Bunge, and Martinazzo, 2011 (1 species)
