Charles Darwin National Park is located in the Northern Territory (Australia), 4 km southeast of Darwin.

Charles Darwin National Park is notable for a number of World War 2-era concrete bunkers, one of which has been converted into a visitors centre and display of World War 2 memorabilia. Charles Darwin National Park is also home to a number of excellent lookouts from the Park towards the city of Darwin.

A number of regular events are held in the Park, including the worldwide Earthdance festival.
