Pristimantis gaigei, also known as the Fort Randolph robber frog[2] or Gaige's rain frog,[3] is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is found in the Atlantic drainage lowlands from extreme south-eastern Costa Rica to eastern Panama and to central Colombia;[2] it is widely distributed in Colombia west of the Cordillera Oriental.[4] Its natural habitat is primary humid lowland forest, but it also occurs in secondary forest. It is a nocturnal species found under surface debris and in leaf-litter.[1]

Pristimantis gaigei is named after Helen Beulah Thompson Gaige, an American herpetologist.[5]
