Gephyromantis is a frog genus in the mantellid subfamily Mantellinae. This genus is restricted to Madagascar. At present it contains 45 species divided into six subgenera.
==Taxonomy== The genus Gephyromantis was erected by Methuen in 1920 for the species Gephyromantis boulengeri. Blommers-Schlösser considered this group as a subgenus of Mantidactylus, but it was re-elevated to genus-level in 2006.
