Fritziana fissilis is a species of frogs in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to southeastern Brazil and known from the mountains of Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Rio Grande do Sul states.[2]

The natural habitat of Fritziana fissilis is forest at elevations of 500–1,800 m (1,600–5,900 ft) asl. They are found sitting on vegetation few metres above the ground, mostly in bromeliads. Tadpoles are released into bromeliads.[1]
