Chelomophrynus is an extinct genus of anurans in the family Rhinophrynidae.{{cite web |url=https://paleobiodb.org/classic/checkTaxonInfo?taxon_no=108607 |title=†Chelomophrynus Henrici 1991 |work=Paleobiology Database |publisher=Fossilworks |access-date=17 December 2021}} A single species is known, Chelomophrynus bayi from the Uintan Wagon Bed Formation of Wyoming. It was probably a subterranean feeder, like the modern member of the family, Rhinophrynus dorsalis. As most burrowing anurans, it likely used its hind feet for digging, thereby entering ground backwards.
