Ameerega boehmei is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to the Chiquitania region in the Santa Cruz Department, Bolivia, where it is known from two isolated sandstone massifs, Serranía de Santiago and Serranía de Chochis. It is similar to Ameerega flavopicta and has been confused with that species. The specific name boehmei honors Wolfgang Böhme, for "his support of the scientific careers of all authors from early days on". Common name Boehmei's poison arrow frog has been proposed for this species.
