In this study, we report the amphibians and reptile species from $anl & yacute;urfa 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 amphisbaenian, twenty-one lizards, and twenty-two snake species) were reported from $anl & yacute;urfa Province. A colubrid snake Platyceps ventromaculatus previously reported for the Turkey is misidentified P. karelini confirming that P. ventromaculatus does not occur in Turkey.
