Queen's Park is a tourist attraction in Invercargill, New Zealand, and was part of the original plan when Invercargill was founded in 1856. The park is 200 acres (0.81 km²) in extent. It is located just north of the city centre bounded by Queens Drive to the east, Kelvin Street to the west, Gala Street to the south and Herbert Street to the north.

The park has an 18-hole Golf Course, a Botanical garden, an aviary and sports grounds. It is also the home to the Southland Museum and Art Gallery and the Southland Astronomical Society Observatory. It was host to one match in the 2006 State Twenty20 Cricket Knock-Out Tournament. The park also gives its name to one of Invercargill's top association football clubs, Queens Park A.F.C.

On the northern edge of the park are Waihopai School (formerly "Waihopai Primary School") and Southland Boys' High School, although despite being within the bounded areas of the park, neither are considered a part of it.
