Pristimantis yaviensis is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae.

It is endemic to Venezuela and known from its type locality, the summit of Cerro Yaví (2,150 m (7,050 ft) above sea level),[1][3] a sandstone table-top mountain (tepui), and from Cerro Yutajé (1,700 m (5,600 ft) above sea level), both in the Amazonas State.

Dorsal color patterns include dark chevrons, longitudinal dark lines, and sharply bicolor middorsum from the sides.

The upper eyelids have small flat tubercles.

[2] It has mostly been collected on vegetation in montane tepui forest or under rock slabs, although one specimen was observed in open, scrubby thicket about 1.5 m above ground.
