Cycloramphus izecksohni is a species of frog in the family Cycloramphidae. It is endemic to southern Brazil and occurs in the Serra do Mar in the states of Santa Catarina, Paraná, and São Paulo.[3] Prior to its description in 1983, it was confused with Cycloramphus duseni.[2] Common name Izecksohn's button frog has been coined for this species.[3][4]

The specific name izecksohni honours Eugênio Izecksohn, a Brazilian herpetologist.[2][4]
