This list of the amphibians of Greece is primarily based on the Atlas of the Amphibians and Reptiles of Greece (2020), published under the auspices of the Societas Hellenica Herpetologica, supplemented by the IUCN Red List. Of the 26 (IUCN) or 25 (Atlas) species recognized, three are endemic (Karpathos frog, Cretan frog, Karpathos salamander), while three are assessed as endangered (Karpathos frog, Cretan frog, Lycian salamander).
Two species for which there is an IUCN Red List assessment are not included in the Atlas (Balkan spadefoot, Pelobates balcanicus ; smooth newt, Lissotriton vulgaris ). The IUCN Red List appears to no longer count Greece as one of the countries within the Syrian spadefoot's range, even though the species occurs on a number of Greek islands.
