Centrolene ballux is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is known from a few disjunct localities on the Pacific versant of the Cordillera Occidental in southern Colombia (Nariño Department) and northern Ecuador (Pichincha and Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas Provinces). Common names golden-flecked glassfrog and Burrowes' giant glass frog have been coined for it.
The specific name ballux is Latin meaning "gold dust", in reference to the tiny gold flecks on the dorsum.
