Arusha National Park is a national park in the Arusha Region of north eastern Tanzania. Although not large, it covers three distinct areas.

Ngurdoto, to the south, is grassland, featuring the Ngurdoto Crater. Momela, to the east, features shallow alkaline Momella Lakes in varying algal colours, known for their wading birds and surrounded by swamps. To the west, the Meru Crater funnels the Jekukumia River; Mount Meru (the second highest peak in Tanzania at 4566m) lies on its rim.

The park is located 25 kilometers east of Arusha, 58 kilometers from Moshi and 35 kilometers from Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA).
