Wielkopolska National Park, also known as Wielkopolski National Park or Greater Poland National Park or the National Park of Greater Poland (Polish: Wielkopolski Park Narodowy), is a National Park within the Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) region of west-central Poland, about 15 km (9 mi) south of the regional capital, Poznań. It gets its unique nature from post-glacial lakes surrounded by dense forests. Together with its protective zone, it includes part of the Poznań Lakeland (Pojezierze Poznańskie) and parts of Poznań's Warta Gorge (Poznański Przełom Warty).

The national park has its headquarters in the village of Jeziory.
