The type subspecies is ''[[Cyprinus carpio carpio]]'', native to much of Europe (notably the [[Danube]] and [[Volga]] Rivers).<ref name=fishbase/><ref name=Genetica>Jian Feng Zhou, Qing Jiang Wu, Yu Zhen Ye & Jin Gou Tong (2003).

The subspecies ''[[Cyprinus carpio haematopterus]]'' (Amur carp), native to eastern Asia, was recognized in the past,<ref name=Genetica/> but recent authorities treat it as a separate species under the name ''[[Cyprinus rubrofuscus]]''.<ref name="iucn status 19 November 2021" /><ref name="Craig2015">Craig, J.F., eds.
