A checklist of rust fungi of the Nuratau Nature Reserve (Nuratau Mountains, Uzbekistan) was compiled for the first time as a result of field research conducted in 2009–2022. In total, 70 species of rust fungi belonging to six genera and four families have been identified. Three of these species (Puccinia behenis, P. onopordi, Uromyces helichrysi) were found for the first time for the mycobiota of Uzbekistan. Thirteen species of rust fungi were recorded on 15 new host plant species. Most species of rust fungi belong to the genera Puccinia and Uromyces. The annotated checklist includes data on host plant, location, date and collection number of every species.
