Bombus morawitzi is a bumblebee species in the subgenus Sibiriocobombus endemic to Central Asia, particularly mountainous regions of Afghanistan, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.[2][3]

The coloration of the species is very distinctive, with bright orange-red hair covering the thorax and abdomen.[4] Males of the species have enlarged eyes in comparison to those of the females.[5]
