Eleutherodactylus corona is a species of frog in the Eleutherodactylidae family endemic to the Massif de la Hotte, Haiti. Its natural habitats are high-elevation cloud forests. It is a very rare, arboreal species. Males call from bromeliads or orchids. It is threatened by habitat loss caused primarily by logging for charcoaling and slash-and-burn agriculture. While the species occurs in the Pic Macaya National Park, there is no active management for conservation, and the habitat loss continues also in the park.
