The Swiss National Park (German language:German: Schweizerischer_Nationalpark, French: Park National Suisse, Italian: Parko Nazionale Swizzero, Romansh: Park Naziunal Svizzer) is located in the east of Switzerland between Zernez, S-Chanf, Scuol and the Fuorn Pass in the Engadin valley. As of 2004, it is the only National Park in Switzerland, though there are plans to create more. It has an area of 174.2 km² and is the largest protected area of the country. It was founded at 1 August, 1914, at the national holiday of Switzerland. It was one of the earliest national parks in Europe.

In the park, it is not allowed to leave the road, make fire or sleep outside the Chamanna Cluozza, the mountain hut located in the parc. It is also forbidden to disturb the animals or the plants, or to take anything from the parc home.

A visitor centre is located in Zernez.
