Bufo is a genus of true toads in the amphibian family Bufonidae. As traditionally defined it was a wastebasket genus containing a large number of toads from much of the world, but following taxonomic reviews most of these species have been moved to other genera, leaving seventeen extant species native to Europe, northern Africa and Asia, including the well-known common toad. Some of the genera that now contain species formerly placed in Bufo include Anaxyrus, Bufotes, Duttaphrynus, Epidalea and Rhinella.
