Choerophryne nigrescens is a species of frogs in the family Microhylidae.

[1][2] It is endemic to the Papua Province, Indonesia, and is known from its type locality and two other localities on the island of Yapen (Papua Province), off the north-western coast of New Guinea, as well as from one record from Foja Mountains in New Guinea.

[1] Three adult males in the type series measure 17–18 mm (0.67–0.71 in) in snout–urostyle length, making it a relatively large Choerophryne; females are unknown.

All fingers and toes bear large and conspicuous discs.

[1] At Yapen, Choerophryne nigrescens inhabits primary and secondary rain forest at elevations of 5–850 m (16–2,789 ft) above sea level.
