Oreophrynella weiassipuensis is a species of toads in the family Bufonidae. It is only known from Wei-Assipu-tepui, a tepui on the border between Brazil and Guyana.[3][4] The holotype was collected in 2000 by a speleological expedition to Wei-Assipu-tepui.[2] No other specimens are known.[4] It is possible that it is present in other localities, but most species of Oreophrynella are endemic to a single mountain.[2]
