The natural range extends from southern Sweden to central Italy, west to France, southern England, northern Portugal, central Spain, and east to northwest Turkey, where it intergrades with the oriental beech (Fagus orientalis), which replaces it further east.

The Oriental beech has colonized even lower altitudes in the Strandja mountain of Bulgaria (as low as 200-300 m. above sea-level), due to the unique local micro-climate, where it forms typical Oriental beech-Rhododendron ponticum forests as well as with other evergreen shrubs.
