Eight Cylindrocarpon isolates recovered from the trunk bases of 10‐year‐old grapevines showing decline symptoms from two vineyards in Bavanat (Fars province, south‐western Iran) were studied. Based on phenotypical characteristics, mating experiments and molecular data, they were identified as Cylindrocarpon liriodendri. Pathogenicity was confirmed with selected isolates inoculated into 8‐month‐old dormant rooted cuttings of grapevine rootstock cv. 110 Richter. This is the first report of C. liriodendri causing black foot disease of grapevines in Iran.
