乌尔米亚湖（英语：Urmia Lake），面积4000至6000平方公里，是一个位于伊朗西北部的高咸水湖。它是世界上最咸的大型湖泊，支持生命。乌尔米亚湖国家公园是一种几乎是当地特有的甲壳类物种的家园，这种物种被称为卤虫。其他形式的生命包括几种藻类、细菌、微真菌、植物、鸟类、爬行动物、两栖动物和哺乳动物。由于这种独特的生物多样性，这个湖被联合国教科文组织选为59个生物圈保护区之一。本文提供了一个全面的物种清单，需要在未来通过额外的研究进行更新。
Urmia Lake, with a surface area between 4000 to 6000 km2, is a hypersaline lake located in northwest Iran. It is the saltiest large lake in the world that supports life. Urmia Lake National Park is the home of an almost endemic crustacean species known as the brine shrimp, Artemia urmiana. Other forms of life include several species of algae, bacteria, microfungi, plants, birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals. As a consequence of this unique biodiversity, this lake has been selected as one of the 59 biosphere reserves by UNESCO. This paper provides a comprehensive species checklist that needs to be updated by additional research in the future.
