St Arnaud Range National Park is located in the Wimmera region of Victoria, Australia, to the south of the town of St Arnaud.

The area's status as a national park is relatively new, having been gazetted by the Victorian Government in 2002. Extending over 13,900 hectares, it incorporates the former Kara Kara State Park and most of the St Arnaud Range State Forest.[1] The park lies within the St Arnaud Box-Ironbark Region Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because of its importance for Swift Parrots and other woodland birds.[2]
