Das Verbreitungsgebiet umfasst das zentrale Portugal, das zentrale und nördliche Spanien, die französischen Pyrenäen, das nordwestliche Kroatien, Slowenien und die angrenzenden Gebiete Norditaliens. Vorkommen von I. horvathi im südlichen Deutschland beruhen wahrscheinlich auf Aussetzung durch den Menschen.

==Distribution== The species of Iberolacerta are distinct and mainly found in the western Europe mountain ranges. Iberolacerta species found in Germany could have possibly been caused by human introduction, and are thus controversial. For example, I. horvathi had been encountered in southern Germany, but has not been encountered thereafter.
