Lorraine Regional Natural Park (French: Parc naturel régional de Lorraine) is a protected area of pastoral countryside in the Grand Est region of northeastern France, in the historic region of Lorraine. The park covers a total area of 205,000 hectares (510,000 acres).[1] The parkland is split in two non-contiguous parcels of land between the cities of Metz and Nancy,[2] and spans the three departments of Meuse, Meurthe-et-Moselle, and Moselle.[3] According to the World Database on Protected Areas, it is an IUCN category V area.[4]

Ancient ruins and modern monuments are common throughout the area.[3] The land was officially designated a regional natural park in 1974.[1]

The park is crossed by the LGV Est high speed rail line, with large viaducts.[5]
