The objective of this study was to perform the morphometric characterization and classification of common bean seeds, Carioca, Gordo, Ovo-de-rola and Preto varieties, for agroecological cultivation. The research was carried out during the month of October, 2018, in the Phytopathology Laboratory of the Center of Agrarian and Environmental Sciences of the State University of Paraíba, located in the municipality of Lagoa Seca, Paraíba. Creole seeds of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) of the Carioca, Gordo, Ovo-de-rola and Preto varieties were used by producers in the region of Montadas, Paraíba, during the 2018 harvest. For each variety, four subsamples of 50 seeds were taken, totaling 200 units. The results showed that, among the bean varieties, the Feijão Gordo variety showed the best results, being 13,6 mm long, 7,2 mm wide, 6,3 mm thick and 0,40 g mass.
