This plant is a Macaronesian endemic which means it is only found in the Canaries, Azores and Madeira. It is far less common than it once was and other alien buttercups have been introduced to the Canary Islands no doubt competing for habitat.

Ranunculus cortusifolius is found on most of the Canary Islands.
