The Ring-necked Pheasant's native range extends throughout most of Asia from Turkey to China. It is a popular gamebird and has been introduced to both New Zealand and Australia.
In New Zealand, it is widespread and locally common on North Island but has a sparser, more localised population on South Island. In Australia, feral populations occur on King Island, Flinders Island and Rottnest Island.
