Amolops cremnobatus is a species of frogs in the family Ranidae. It is found in north-central Laos and Vietnam. Its range might extend into Thailand. The specific name cremnobatus is derived from Greek kremnobates, meaning "frequenter of steep places", and refers to the steep waterfall from which the type series were collected. Common name Lao sucker frog has been coined for it. Another common name is the Lao torrent frog and it has been suggested that it should change to Inger's Lao torrent frog because new species have been described from Amolops cremnobatus and will therefore avoid confusion.
