Duboce Park ("Duboce" is pronounced Duh-BOH-ss) is a small park between the Duboce Triangle and Lower Haight neighborhoods of San Francisco, California. The N Judah Muni Metro streetcar line runs along Duboce Avenue, which forms the southern boundary of the park. The park is less than one block wide from north to south, and two blocks wide from west to east. Its western boundary is Scott Street and its eastern boundary is Steiner Street.

The train tracks depart from Duboce Avenue at the western end of the park to enter the Sunset Tunnel.

The park is a popular site for dog walkers, and has a fence-enclosed area with a children's play structure. Behind the play area (to the west) is a fenced-in basketball court with multiple rims.

Along the west end of the park (along Scott Street) is the Harvey Milk Recreational Arts Building, which hosts a number of community events and includes a photography center, a studio for dance and aerobics classes and a Midnight Music Program. In addition, the Friends of Duboce Park host an Annual Film Festival, featuring movies filmed in San Francisco, in the photography center.
