Phrynops hilarii, commonly known as Hilaire’s toadhead turtle or Hilaire’s side-necked turtle, is a species of turtle endemic to South America.

The specific name, hilarii, is in honor of French zoologist Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire.

P. hilarii is found in southern Brazil (Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul) southward and westward into Uruguay and Argentina; possibly also in Paraguay and Bolivia.
