This paper presents insufficiently or previously unknown Jurassic ammonites from 21 localities and sections of the Western and Central Balkan Mts (Bulgaria). The total stratigraphical range of the studied fauna corresponds to a broad interval, from the Pliensbachian (Lower Jurassic) to the Callovian (Middle Jurassic), with emphasis on the ammonites from the Bajocian–Callovian interval. These ammonites belong to 36 species and 23 genera that are affiliated to 12 ammonite families: Polymorphitidae
