Werneria submontana is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to western Cameroon. It is found primarily at elevations of 800 to 1,200 m (2,600 to 3,900 ft) above sea level, but sometimes down to 200 m (660 ft), in the Bakossi Mountains, Mwendelengo Mountains, and at the base of Mount Kupe. It has been found in association with rivers (under rocks in a partly dried-up river basin, and on stony ground among low vegetation in the spray zone of a small, artificial waterfall). The species can be locally abundant but is threatened by habitat loss. Parts of its range receive protection from the Bakossi Forest Reserve.
