Cardioglossa venusta is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae.

[4] Dorsal markings and the white line running under the tympanum, typical for the genus Cardioglossa, are absent.

[1] Cardioglossa venusta is a poorly known species with highly fragmented population.

It is threatened by further habitat loss caused by agricultural encroachment, expanding human settlements, and harvesting of wood for both firewood and building materials.

It might occur in the Rumpi Hills Wildlife Reserve, but this would offer only limited protection.
