Gastrotheca griswoldi is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. The species is endemic to central Peru.
The specific name, griswoldi, honours John Augustus Griswold Jr (1912–1991), an American aviculturist and ornithologist.
The "common name", Griswold's marsupial frog, has been coined for G. griswoldi.
