Narawntapu National Park (formerly known as Asbestos Range National Park) is a national park in the Australian state of Tasmania.

It lies about 20 km east of Devonport, 60 km north-west of Launceston and 250 km north of Hobart.
Narawntapu encompasses islands in the Port Sorell estuary and the Carbuncle, as well as land extending to low water mark, including intertidal mudflats. The highest point of the park is 392 m ASL. It is listed on Australia's Register of the National Estate.[1]
