Subspecies
(1) Bufo bufo bufo (Linnaeus, 1758)
(2) Bufo bufo gredosicola L. Mueller et Hellmich, 1935 (Spain).

Several additional subspecies have been described across the range of the species, but most are now regarded as separate species. The status of Bufo spinosus Daudin, 1803 from the European mediterranean region and Bufo verrucosissimus (Pallas, 1814) from the Caucasus is discussed controversially; I regard them as separate species.

Only the nominate subspecies occurs in Germany.
