Iberolacerta is a genus of lizards in the family Lacertidae. The genus contains at least eight described species, which are mainly found in Spain and France. I. horvathi (Horvath's rock lizard) has a wider geographic range, being distributed in Central Europe.
==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.
