The Crimean Mountain karst (Crimean Tatar: Qırımnıñ dağ karstı; Ukrainian: Гірський карст Криму, romanized: Hirskyi karst Krymu; Russian: Горный карст Крыма, romanized: Gorny karst Kryma) is a karst and regional nature reserve (zakaznik) in Crimea, a region internationally recognised as part of Ukraine but currently under occupation by Russia since 2014. It is a part of the larger Qarabiy yayla mountain range, making up the central part of the range. The area was first described by Alexander Kruber in 1915. In 1989 the Crimean Mountain karst was recognised as a regional nature reserve.
