Beryl Spring is a hot spring in the Gibbon Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

Beryl is one of the hottest in Yellowstone, averaging 196°F (91°C).[1] It was named by the U.S. Geological Survey Hague party in 1883 for the blue-green color which reminded a party member of the gemstone beryl.[2]
