Atelognathus is a genus of frogs in the family Batrachylidae. Sometimes known as Patagonia frogs, these frogs are endemic to Patagonia (southernmost Argentina and Chile).[1]

There are seven species in the genus:[1]

Atelognathus nitoi (Barrio, 1973)
Atelognathus patagonicus (Gallardo, 1962)
Atelognathus praebasalticus (Cei and Roig, 1968)
Atelognathus reverberii (Cei, 1969)
