Oreobates saxatilis is a frog species in the Craugastoridae family. Its common name is Tarapoto big-headed frog. It is endemic to Peru where it is known from its type locality near Tarapoto (San Martín Province of the San Martín Region) as well as from the Satipo Province.[2] Its natural habitats are lowland tropical forest, but it may also be found in rocky streambeds in ravines on mountain slopes. Very little is known about this species.[1]

The dorsum is greyish brown with darker brown markings; the skin is granular, with round keratinized granules and small (only some slightly enlarged), sparse, low, flat warts.[3]
