Scutiger is a genus of toads in the family Megophryidae.

They occur in China, Burma, Nepal, and northern India in high-altitude habitats.

[3] A 2017 molecular phylogenetic study found that Scutiger originated in Paleo-Tibet during the Oligocene.

The ranges often overlap with those of Oreolalax species.
