Siberut National Park comprises 1,905 km² (47%) of the island of Siberut in the Mentawai Islands of West Sumatra, Indonesia. It is located at 1°22′S 98°56′E.

The notable aspects of the park are its endemic fauna, flora, and indigenous inhabitants, the Mentawai, who still live according to hunter-gather traditions. The Mentawai Islands are thought to have been isolated from mainland of Sumatra for over 500,000 years, thereby producing unique ecosystems.
