Crossodactylodes (common name: bromeliad frogs) is a genus of leptodactylid frogs from the Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil.{{cite web |url=http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/Amphibia/Anura/Leptodactylidae/Paratelmatobiinae/Crossodactylodes |title=Crossodactylodes Cochran, 1938 |author=Frost, Darrel R. |year=2014 |work=Amphibian Species of the World: an Online Reference.

Most Crossodactylodes are Atlantic Forest species closely associated with epiphytic bromeliads where they complete their entire life cycle, including the larval development. However, Crossodactylodes itambe inhabits rupicolous (rock-dwelling) bromeliads in open field habitats at higher altitudes.{{Cite journal |author=Barata, IM |author2=MTT Santos |author3=FSF Leite |author4=PCA Garcia | year = 2013 | title = A new species of Crossodactylodes (Anura: Leptodactylidae) from Minas Gerais, Brazil: first record of genus within the Espinhaço Mountain Range | journal = Zootaxa | volume = 3731 | pages = 552–560 | url = http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2013/f/z03731p560f.pdf | doi=10.11646/zootaxa.3731.4.7| pmid = 25277590 }}
