'''Douglas-Apsley''' is a national park and a locality on the east coast of Tasmania, Australia, 149&nbsp;km northeast of [[Hobart]], and a few kilometres north of [[Bicheno, Tasmania|Bicheno]].  It is one of Tasmania's newer National Parks, having been declared on 27 December 1989.

==Description==
The park preserves remnant east coast dry forested catchment of three main streams, [[Apsley River (Tasmania)|Apsley River]], Denison Rivulet and Douglas River.  Highlights include deep gorges, wildflower displays and mild inland climate.  Visitors can undertake short walks or do a three-day trek.

==Birds==
The park has been identified by [[BirdLife International]] as an [[Important Bird Area]] because it supports 11 of Tasmania's [[endemism|endemic]] bird species as well as [[flame robin|flame]] and [[pink robin]]s and, probably, [[swift parrot]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.birdata.com.au/iba.vm |title=IBA: Douglas-Apsley |accessdate=2011-06-18 |work=Birdata |publisher=Birds Australia |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706102341/http://www.birdata.com.au/iba.vm |archivedate=6 July 2011 }}</ref>
