Epidalea is a near-monotypic genus of true toads in the family Bufonidae, containing the natterjack toad, native to sandy and heathland areas of Europe. Adults reach 60 to 70 millimetres in length and are distinguished from common toads by a yellow line down the middle of the back and parallel paratoid glands. They have relatively short legs, giving them a distinctive walking gait rather than the hopping movement typical of many other toad species.
