Delamere Forest or Delamere Forest Park is a forest in the Vale Royal district of Cheshire, England, managed by the Forestry Commission. It includes over 9.5 square kilometres of mixed deciduous and evergreen forest [1] making it the largest area of woodland in Cheshire.

Nearby places to the forest are Delamere, Cuddington, Norley, Frodsham and Helsby. The forest is served by Delamere railway station and also has a visitors centre.

Numerous footpaths meander through the forest, including parts of the Sandstone Trail and Delamere Way long-distance footpaths. The B5152 bisects the forest into two parts.

Many cycle routes go through the forest and there is a large area of dirt cycle jumps for extreme sports enthusiasts.

Since 2003 the forest has served as a music venue, playing host to performers including Ian Brown, Jools Holland, Status Quo, Sugababes and Paul Weller.
