Sclerophrys djohongensis is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to the Adamawa Plateau in north-central Cameroon. It was originally described as a subspecies of Bufo funereus (now Sclerophrys funerea). It might even be a junior synonym of Sclerophrys villiersi.

The species' natural habitats are gallery forests in montane grassland and wooded savanna landscapes. A rarely recorded species, it probably suffers from habitat degradation caused by agriculture, overgrazing by livestock, wood extraction, fire, and human settlements.
