Perämeri National Park (Perämeren kansallispuisto, literally "Bay of Bothnia National Park") is a national park in Lapland Province, Finland. The park, established in 1991, covers 157 km² of which 2.5 km² is on land. It is maintained by Metsähallitus.
The islands in the area have been formed by post-glacial rebound, and the scenery is still in a constant state of change. There are also numerous traditional fishing bases.
The national park is reachable by boat, although visiting is only recommended for experienced boaters.
