Boettger's horned toad, Boettger's spadefoot toad, or pale-shouldered horned toad (''Xenophrys boettgeri''), is a species of toad found in southern and southeastern China (the northern border runs roughly from Sichuan in the west to Shanxi in the north and Zhejiang in the east) and northeastern India (Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and Assam). A closely related but probably as yet undescribed species in found in Tibet. It is not certain that the Indian specimens belong to ''Xenophrys boettgeri'' either.〔
The history of this species' discovery is highly international. It was described by George Albert Boulenger, a Belgian zoologist who made his career in the Natural History Museum, London. He named ''Xenophrys boettgeri'' in honour of Oskar Boettger, a German zoologist, based on specimens collected by Irish ornithologist J. D. La Touche in Guadun village in Wuyishan, Fujian, China.
Male ''Xenophrys boettgeri'' grow to a snout-vent length of about and females to . They are dark grey or brown above, with symmetrical blackish markings and smooth skin with small scattered warts on the head and back.〔
''Xenophrys boettgeri'' is a reasonably common species associated with riparian vegetation, hill streams and leaf-litter in evergreen forest habitats. These frogs breed in streams.〔 Tadpoles are in length.〔
