The Iberian Peninsula provides a unique freshwater ecosystem for native and endemic cypriniforms to thrive. Despite cypriniforms being hosts to multiple myxobolids worldwide, little research has been performed in this geographic location. In this study, the examination of three Iberian endemic cypriniforms showed that myxosporean richness in the Iberian Peninsula is underestimated, with three new and one known myxobolid species being reported based on morphological and molecular data (SSU).  Myxobolus arcasii  n. sp. is described from the kidney and gonads of the “bermejuela”  Achondrostoma arcasii ,  M. duriensis  n. sp. from the gills of the Northern straight-mouth nase  Pseudochondrostoma duriense , and  Thelohanellus paludicus  n. sp. from the intestine of the Southern Iberian spined-loach  Cobitis paludica .  Myxobolus pseudodispar  Gorbunova, 1936 is further reported from several organs of  P. duriense , and from the spleen of  A. arcasii . The occurrence of  M. pseudodispar  in endemic Iberian species reveals that host-shift followed its co-introduction with central European leuciscids into this geographic location. Several other myxobolids originally described from barbels in central Europe have also been reported from the Iberian endemic cypriniform  Luciobarbus bocagei . Nonetheless, except for  M. musculi , the identification of these myxobolids in  L. bocagei  is here shown to be dubious and require molecular confirmation. Phylogenetic analyses reveal  M. arcasii  n. sp. and  M. duriensis  n. sp. clustering within different lineages of leuciscid-infecting species, showing that myxobolids entered Leuciscidae as hosts multiple times during their evolution. Constituting the first myxobolid reported from the subfamily Cobitinae,  Thelohanellus paludicus  n. sp. stands alone in the tree topology.
