Martes foina occurs throughout much of Europe and central Asia. They are found as far north as Denmark, west to Spain, south into Italy, including the islands of Crete, Rhodes, and Corfu, and east to Mongolia and the Himalayas.

 

A population of beech martens is now established in Wisconsin, United States, as a result of the pet trade. (GCT-SECEM, 2004; Grizimek, 1990; Virgos and Garcia, 2002; Wild Natures, 2003)
