Alsodes australis is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae. It is endemic to Chile and tentatively believed to live in Argentina as well.
This frog has been found in cold streams in Northofagus forests on mountains. This frog has been observed between 0 and 1400 meters above sea level.
The frog has been observed in two protected areas: Bernardo O'Higgins National Park and Queulat National Park in Chile. There are also some frogs in Argentina's Nahuel Huapi National Park that scientists think may be a population of A. australis.
The IUCN classifies this frog as data deficient. Introduced salmonid fish and American mink may prey upon this frog.
This animal breeds through larval development. Tadpoles swim in streams.
