In this paper we present a floristic survey of the pteridophytes from the native vegetation of the Jardim Botânico Municipal de Bauru (JBMB), Bauru, São Paulo State, Brazil. The JBMB is located in the central region of the State, it has an area of 321.71 ha and the principal vegetation kinds are savanna ("Cerrado"), remnants of "Floresta Estacional Semidecidual Aluvial", and "Floresta Estacional Semidecidual Submontana". The material was collected according to the usual techniques for vascular plants and deposited in the Herbaria JBMB, UNBA, and SP. The data showed the occurrence of 54 taxa, distributed in 28 genera, 49 species, one subspecies, and four varieties. The most representative genera are: Thelypteris (11 species) and Blechnum (four species). Polybotrya goyazensis Brade and Thelypteris biformata (Rosenst.) R.M. Tryon are new citations to São Paulo State. Thelypteris eriosora (Fée) Ponce was recorded for the first time to the central region of the State in low elevations.
