Cornufer schmidti is a species of frog in the family Ceratobatrachidae. It was first described as a subspecies of Platymantis papuensis (now Cornufer papuensis ). It is the type species of the subgenus Aenigmanura within Cornufer. It is endemic to the Bismarck Archipelago, Papua New Guinea, and is known from the islands of New Britain, New Ireland, and Manus; the Manus population might represent a distinct species.
Cornufer schmidti is named after Karl Patterson Schmidt, American herpetologist. Common name Schmidt's wrinkled ground frog has been coined for it.
