Colostethus inguinalis is a species of frog in the Dendrobatidae family. It is endemic to northwestern and northcentral Colombia. Its common name is common rocket frog, although this name can also refer to Colostethus panamansis that until 2004 was considered a junior synonym of Colostethus inguinalis. Much of the older literature on Colostethus inguinalis is actually about Colostethus panamansis.
Colostethus inguinalis is a diurnal species of humid lowland and montane forests, living along streams. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Adult males measure 22–27 mm (0.87–1.06 in) in snout–vent length and adult females 23–30 mm (0.91–1.18 in).
