Abstract:	In this study, we report the amphibians and reptile species from Þanlýurfa Province. We conducted fieldwork for 60 days between 2016 – 2018 and additionally, we used the observation data from previous field excursions during the period from 2005 to 2016. A total of 53 amphibians and reptiles (six anurans, three chelonians, one amphisbae-nian, twenty-one lizards, and twenty-two snake species) were reported from Þanlýurfa Province.
