The European Spadefoot Toads (Pelobatidae) are a family of frogs with only one genus Pelobates, containing four species.

The seven species of American Spacefoot Toads (genera Scaphiopus and Spea) were previously also included into the Pelobatidae family, but are now generally regarded as the separate family Scaphiopodidae.
