Ossetian Muslims (Ossetian: Ирон Пысылмӕттӕ, romanized: Iron Pysylmættæ) are ethnic Ossetians who practice Islam and are native to the region of Ossetia in the North Caucasus.
The majority of Ossetian Muslims today reside in Turkey, as well as the Western areas of North Ossetia, such as the Irafsky, Kirovsky, and Pravoberezhny Districts and in Vladikavkaz, with Minorities in the Alagirsky, Ardonsky, Mozdoksky, and western Prigorodny Districts, as well as in Syria, Kabardino-Balkaria, and Stavropol Krai. The Ossetian Muslim community is made up of people from both the Digor, and Iron subgroups of Ossetians.
