Sachatamia orejuela is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is found on the Pacific versant of the Cordillera Occidental in southern Colombia (Valle del Cauca, Cauca, and Nariño Departments) and on the Pacific Andean slopes of northwestern Ecuador (Esmeraldas, Imbabura, Pichincha, and Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas Provinces). Common name El Tambo Cochran frog has been coined for it.
The specific name orejuela honors the Orejuela family who administered the Reserva La Planada, Colombia, where some specimens in the type series were collected.
