Cabañeros National Park (in Spanish: Parque Nacional de Cabañeros) is a national park in Spain, which falls within two provinces, the northwest of Ciudad Real and the southwest of Toledo.

The park has an area of 390 km².

It is placed in the northwestern quadrant of the province of Ciudad Real, between the Estena and Bullaque rivers, extending the Chorito and Miraflores mountain ranges.

It is the best and largest representation of Iberian Mediterranean forest, with an enormous variety of vegetable species.

The interest of its fauna is notable, both for its number (276 species of vertebrates) and for its high percentage of world wide species in danger of extinction (47%) and Spanish fauna (more than the 25%). Some of these species are the [black stork], the [imperial eagle], the black vulture, the otter or the Iberian [lynx].
