Rymill Park, also known as Mullawirraburka in Kaurna, is a park located in the East Parklands of the South Australian capital of Adelaide. It is bordered by East and Dequetteville Terraces, and Rundle and Bartels Roads. It is in close proximity to the Adelaide Botanic Garden, Hutt Street and Victoria Park.

Named in honour of the prominent winemaking and equestrian Rymill family, the park is one of the most popular in the parklands. It features a lake with rowboats, rose gardens, playgrounds, and a kiosk and barbecue facilities.

The park is a site for several major events including Carnevale in Adelaide, the Adelaide International Horse Trials and some events in the Adelaide Fringe and Feast festivals.
