Nectophrynoides laticeps is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to the Ukaguru Mountains of Tanzania. This toad can be distinguished from the other known species of the genus by a combination of morphological characters, and has an advertisement call different from all other recorded calls of Nectophrynoides. The dorsal and ventral coloration is variable with a pink tinge. It is ovoviviparous - the eggs remain within the mother's body until they hatch.
