Meriones vinogradovi has a limited range from Turkey through Syria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, through to Iran. In the Mediterranean region it is known from eastern Turkey (from Aralik and Dogubeyazit (Demirsoy et al. 2006)) and one record from Syria (A. Karatas unpublished data). Some existing records are problematic and the species' distribution needs to be clarified (B. Kryštufek pers. comm. 2007).
