Cleland National Park is a protected area in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia, located about 22 kilometres (14 mi) south-east of Adelaide's city centre. It preserves a substantial expanse of natural bushland along the Adelaide Hills face, encompassing Mount Lofty Summit and Waterfall Gully. Classified as an IUCN Category II protected area, the park was formerly Cleland Conservation Park. In November 2021, it was merged with the adjoining Eurilla Conservation Park and upgraded to national park status.

Cleland National Park, like all reserves and parks in South Australia, is managed under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 and the Wilderness Protection Act 1992, with conservation responsibilities overseen by the Minister under the Crown Land Management Act 2009.
