Cophixalus petrophilus, the blotched boulder-frog, is a species of frogs from the Cape York Peninsula (Queensland, Australia) that was described in 2013. The name of the frog means "rock-loving" and it mountain rainforest boulder fields of Northern Queensland. The frogs feed and breed during the summer wet season rains. The area is described as dark, cool and moist during the dry season. It is one of three newly described vertebrate species from Cape Melville, Australia.

This frog lives in the lower levels of the rainforest and live in the vegetation. They are 10 millimetres (0.39 in) to 29 millimetres (1.1 in), relatively short.

The frog lays its eggs in moist rock cracks and the tadpoles develop within the eggs while being guarded by the male and emerge as fully formed froglets when they hatch out.
