Parc National La Visite (La Visite National Park) is one of the two national parks of the Republic of Haiti. Located in the southeast of the country, La Visite contains the country's highest mountain, Pic de la Selle, which reaches an altitude of 2,680 meters (8,793 ft). The park covers approximately 30 square kilometres, consisting mainly of pine forest, grasslands, and some montane broadleaf forest at an altitude above 1,700 meters.

The park offers excellent opportunities for birdwatching. A number of threatened species, including some endemic to the island of Hispaniola, can be seen in the park.
