Genetic diversity in commercial cucumber genotypes was estimated based on 10 characters. Twenty four cucumber genotypes were grouped into eleven different clusters. The highest inter-cluster distance (83.10) was observed between clusters VI and X whereas lowest inter-cluster distance (19.14) was observed between the clusters II and VII. Cluster X showed highest mean for number of primary branches, node at which first female flower appear, number of fruits per plant, yield per vine and yield per hectare, cluster VIII produced highest mean for fruit circumference and fruit weight, cluster IV registered highest mean for fruit length whereas cluster III recorded highest mean for vine length and earliness for days to first female flowering. Cluster II and III contributed 51.75 and 40.26%, respectively towards divergence.
