Lithia Springs Regional Park, is a park in Lithia, Hillsborough County, Florida, in the United States. The park's major attraction is a natural spring from which water flows year-round at a temperature of 72 degrees. Sixty per-cent of the park is surrounded by the Alafia River, into which the water from the spring flows.

In addition to the popular swimming area, the park includes forty-five campsites and two indoor shower facilities, as well as canoe and kayak launch facilities. There is a large grassy area, a fishing dock, volleyball, and hiking trails.

A circular trail between the park and Alderman's Ford Regional Park is being planned by the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SwiftMud) and the Environmental Lands Acquisition and Protection Program (ELAPP).[2]
