Ambrose Park is a suburb of Nowra on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. The suburb has around 1000 residents and is located about 170 km south of Sydney. Its postcode is 2541.

The suburb was established as a new subdivision in the early 1990s, taking in an area to the south of a reserve called Ambrose Park. It is from this park that the suburb takes its name, although the park itself is technically located in South Nowra. According to a plaque in the reserve, the name Ambrose is taken from that of the Catholic saint.

Ambrose Park is considered one of Nowra's more desirable suburbs, being reasonably close to the town centre but away from the noisy Princes Highway, the town's major thoroughfare.
