The diatom flora of the cavern system of Timpanogos Cave National Monument was investigated. Diatoms were found throughout the cave system and were distributed according to moisture and natural openings. Twenty‐six species were identified and described, including eight not previously collected from caves and four new records for the state of Utah.
