The coccinellid ladybird beetles (Coccinellidae; Coleoptera) fauna of Gilgit- Baltistan was explored during present study. The taxonomic study of the collected beetles revealed twenty nine (29) species of coccinellid beetles in eighteen (18) genera and four (04) subfamilies from the province of Gilgit- Baltistan. Subfamily Chilocorinae represents four (04) species, subfamily Coccinellinae eighteen (18) species, subfamily Epilachninae three (03) species and subfamily Scymninae four (04) species. Among these, seventeen (17) species are new records for the study area including five (05) new records to Pakistan. The newly recorded species from Pakistan are; Exochomus nigromaculatus, Priscibrumus trijunctus, Coccinella iranica, C. redemita and Hippodamia apicalis. The remaining species include, Chilocorus infernalis, Platynaspidius saundersi, Adalia tetraspilota, Aiolocaria hexaspilota, Calvia punctata, Menochilus transversoguttata, sexmaculatus, Harmonia dimidiata, Coccinella Hippodamia septempunctata, variegata, C.

Keys to subfamilies and genera are provided. Diagnostic characters of each species are given along with genitalia description.
