The Betic midwife toad or Sapo Partero Bético (Alytes dickhilleni) is a species of frog in the family Alytidae (formerly Discoglossidae).

It is generally found in oak and pine forests and in open rocky areas, mostly on limestone, at elevations between 700 and 2,000 metres (2,300 and 6,600 ft).

The toads mate on land and the male coils the egg mass round his hind legs and carries it around until the developing tadpoles are ready to hatch.

The main threats it faces are the diminution in the number of suitable breeding sites due to drought, water abstraction and changes in agricultural practices.
