Eleutherodactylus amplinympha is a species of frog in the Eleutherodactylidae family. It is endemic to Dominica, Lesser Antilles, where it occurs in the interior of the island at elevations of 300–1,200 m (980–3,940 ft) asl.[2] It is locally known as the gounouj.

Eleutherodactylus amplinympha is a habitat generalist with a preference for higher elevation, slightly open rainforests. It is threatened by habitat loss in some areas.[1]
