New data on the fauna of Dolichopodidae of the Murmansk Oblast are presented based on the materials collected in 2008–2023. A total of 35 species were recorded, 11 of which were found in the Murmansk Oblast for the first time and two — Argyra subarctica Ringdahl, 1920 and Medetera jugalis Collin, 1941 — in the European part of Russia. A new species Medetera fennoscandica sp. nov. is described. With the new data, the species list of the Murmansk Oblast has expanded to 97 species, which, according to the preliminary estimates, constitutes about 50% of the potential species diversity.
