"Bufo" scorteccii (Scortecci's toad) is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae.[1] It is endemic to Yemen, with its range restricted to a plateau near the western region of Mafhaq. Its natural habitats are shrubland as well as wetland areas.[2]

It was originally described in the genus Bufo in 1970.[3] In 2006, it was removed from that genus but not assigned to another genus until 2009 when it was assigned to Duttaphrynus.[3] This was reversed in 2015 due to physical characteristics that are similar to both Duttaphrynus and Sclerophrys.[3]
