Euscorpius carpathicus is a species of scorpion endemic to the Romanian Carpathians.

[2] Since then, Euscorpius carpathicus has been identified as an endemic species of Romania with a substantially more limited range.

The range of Euscorpius carpathicus is limited to the Carpathians and further fragmented into three isolated areas: the western portion of the Southern Carpathians (also known as the Banat Mountains), the Olt River gorge inside Cozia National Park, and the Buzău Mountains.

The clay substratum in riparian areas of the Carpathians is believed to be important for Euscorpius carpathicus to survive the winters as it burrows into cracks and holes, as is common in other Euscorpius species.

Euscorpius carpathicus is also found overwintering in areas with bush cover that create warmer microclimates in river valleys.
