Cedar Bay is a national park in Queensland (Australia), 1522 km northwest of Brisbane, and just to the south of Cooktown. The park is one of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area series of national parks, and is a gazetted World Heritage site.
Cedar Bay gained a degree of notoriety in the 1970s when squatters, seeking a different way of life, were evicted from the park. The park contains the northernmost tropical rainforests in Australia, but there are no formal walking tracks or other facilities.
