Geranium libanoticum, commonly known as the Lebanese cranesbill, is a species of hardy, perennial herbaceous plant within the family Geraniaceae. The species is a specialized geophyte native to the temperate montane biomes of the Eastern Mediterranean, with a natural range restricted to south-central Turkey (Anatolia), western Syria, and Lebanon. First formally described in 1840, it is ecologically adapted to subalpine rocky substrates and clearings within high-altitude coniferous forests.
The native distribution of Geranium libanoticum is bound to the sub-alpine and alpine zones of the Levant and south-central Anatolia. Populations are documented along the central and southern reaches of the Taurus Mountains and the Amanus range in Turkey, the volcanic plateaus of Jabal al-Arab in southeastern Syria, and both the Mount Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon mountain chains.
