Genetic diversity was assessed in a collection of 203 genotypes of linseed in respect of yield and related traits. The genotypes fell into 15 clusters. The cluster VII and X had highest number of genotypes. The inter cluster distance ranged from 57.87 between cluster I and XV to 555.65 between IX and XIII. Considering cluster distances NDL 2005–32, NDL 2002, Hira, Parwati, BAU 2004-0, LMS 2007–07, NDL 2005–28, LCK 8029, Mukta, NDL 2007–15 and Shekhar may be chosen for hybridization programme to evolve higher yielding linseed varieties.
