Hyloxalus is a genus of poison dart frogs. The genus is distributed in Central and South America, from Panama south to Peru (along the Pacific coast), along with Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador.

This may be one of the oldest of dendrobatid genera; if this is the case, the genus has changed little since it first evolved.
