Ismailli State Reserve, Natural reserve in the Major Caucasus Mountains, Azerbaijan.
Located on the southern slopes of the Major Caucasus range at 1,525 meters elevation, the reserve contains dense forests of beech, hornbeam, and oak trees.
The Ismailli State Reserve was established in 1981 with 57 square kilometers, and in 2003 the protected area expanded to 167 square kilometers.
The presence of chestnut-leaved oak and horehound oak in the reserve led to their inclusion in the Red Book of Azerbaijan for environmental protection.

The reserve houses 170 animal species, including brown bears, lynxes, Caucasian deer, and 104 different bird species across thirteen taxonomic orders.
