Tun Mustapha Marine Park is a marine park located off the north coast of the state of Sabah, Malaysia. It comprises an area of 898,762.76 hectares with more than 50 islands and islets located across Kudat, Pitas and Kota Marudu districts; making it the second largest gazetted marine park in the country after the Luconia Shoals in neighbouring Sarawak.
The marine park consists of four zones: the protection, community, multiple-used, and commercial fishing areas. Around 80 thousand people are dependent on the marine park for resources, including various local Sabah and Filipino indigenous ethnics such as the Dusun, Rungus, Sama-Bajau and Suluk.
