Parapelophryne is a monotypic genus of toads in the family Bufonidae. The only species is Parapelophryne scalpta. It is endemic to Hainan, China.

Parapelophryne scalpta occurs in evergreen broadleaf forests at elevations of 350–1,400 m (1,150–4,590 ft) above sea level.

Its range overlaps with some protected areas.
