Sclerophrys funerea is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is found in west-central Africa, from Gabon, Republic of the Congo, and Angola eastward through the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi.[1][2] Its common names are Angola toad or somber toad.[2][3]

This species occurs in rainforests, usually on slightly drier areas such as ridge tops. It is a leaf litter species. The eggs are deposited in slow-flowing streams during the dry season. It tolerates a slight degree of habitat degradation. Habitat loss is a localized threat.[1]
