Craugastor anciano is a species of frog in the Craugastoridae family. It is endemic to the Cordillera de Celaque in Honduras.[2] Its natural habitats are premontane and lower montane moist forests. It lives on the ground along streams.[1]

Craugastor anciano is an extremely rare species that might now be extinct. Chytridiomycosis is a possible reason, although also habitat loss is a threat.[1]
