Telestes turskyi is a species of cyprinid restricted to Buško Lake in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Čikola, a tributary of the Krka River, in Croatia. This species was thought to be extinct, but was rediscovered in May 2002 by J. Freyhof and N. Bogutskaya. Its habitat continues to decline due to water extraction and drought.
