Sai Kung Country Park (Chinese: 西貢郊野公園) is a collective reference to the protected green spaces located on the Sai Kung Peninsula in the northeastern New Territories of Hong Kong. The area is managed by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) and officially comprises three distinct administrative entities: Sai Kung East Country Park, Sai Kung West Country Park, and the Sai Kung West Country Park (Wan Tsai Extension).

Together, these parks cover approximately 7,617 hectares (18,820 acres) of uplands, coasts, and reservoirs, making the peninsula one of the most extensive recreational areas in the territory.
