Eleutherodactylus aporostegus (commonly known as the Tiburon burrowing frog) is a species of frog in the Eleutherodactylidae family. It was originally described as subspecies of Eleutherodactylus ruthae, but has been formally recognized as a full species since 2008. It is endemic to the Tiburon Peninsula, Haiti.
Eleutherodactylus aporostegus burrows and lays its eggs underground, which is unusual among Eleutherodactylus.
