The Crater Lake newt or Mazama newt, Taricha granulosa mazamae, is a subspecies of the rough-skinned newt. Its type locality is Crater Lake, Oregon.[2] Similar newts have been found in Alaska,[3][4] but their identity is unclear.[1]

The Crater Lake newt population is under threat due to predation from crayfish and rainbow trout that have been introduced into the lake.[5]
