The Home Park, previously known as the Little Park (and originally Lydecroft Park), is a 2.65 km2 royal park which forms the private grounds of Windsor Castle in Berkshire, England. It lies mainly on the eastern side of the castle and is administered by the Crown Estate of the United Kingdom. The park includes the Frogmore estate, and several private organisations related to the estate have facilities in the park. To the Home Park's south is the Windsor Great Park, largely open to the public.

This aerial view of the northwest corner of the Home Park includes Windsor Castle. The Long Walk to and from the castle is the wide path, Frogmore Drive is the tree-lined path.

Home Park is listed Grade I on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Historic England.
