The Gundabooka National Park is a protected national park in the north-west region of New South Wales, in eastern Australia. The 63,902-hectare (157,910-acre) national park is located approximately 820 kilometres (510 mi) northwest of Sydney. The nearest town is Bourke, 70 kilometres (43 mi) to the north.

The national park is located adjacent to both the Darling River and the Toorale National Park, both located on the northwest boundary of the national park.

Petroglyph rock art and ancestral ceremonial grounds are located inside the park. It has many exotic plants.
