Naturally occurring praseodymium (59Pr) is composed of one stable isotope, Pr. Thirty-eight radioisotopes have been characterized with the most stable being Pr, with a half-life of 13.57 days and Pr, with a half-life of 19.12 hours. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are less than six hours and the majority of these have half-lives that are less than 33 seconds. This element also has 15 meta states with the most stable being Pr (t1/2 2.12 hours), Pr (t1/2 14.6 minutes) and Pr (t1/2 11 minutes).
The isotopes of praseodymium range in atomic weight from 120.955 u (Pr) to 158.955 u (Pr). The primary decay mode before the stable isotope, Pr, is electron capture and the mode after is beta decay. The primary decay products before Pr are element 58 (cerium) isotopes and the primary products after are element 60 (neodymium) isotopes.

- Pr – Excited nuclear isomer.
- ( ) – Uncertainty (1σ) is given in concise form in parentheses after the corresponding last digits.
- # – Atomic mass marked #: value and uncertainty derived not from purely experimental data, but at least partly from trends from the Mass Surface (TMS).
- ^ # – Values marked # are not purely derived from experimental data, but at least partly from trends of neighboring nuclides (TNN).
-
Modes of decay:
EC: Electron capture IT: Isomeric transition
p: Proton emission - Bold italics symbol as daughter – Daughter product is nearly stable.
- Bold symbol as daughter – Daughter product is stable.
- ( ) spin value – Indicates spin with weak assignment arguments.
- Order of ground state and isomer is uncertain.
