The '''Mount Nothofagus National Park''' is a [[state park|protected]] [[national park]] located in the [[Northern Rivers]] region of [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]]. The {{convert|2180|ha|adj=on}}<ref name=oeh/> park is located approximately {{convert|634|km}} north of [[Sydney]] and can be located via {{NSWcity|Kyogle}} via the [[Bruxner Highway]] and the [[Summerland Way]].

The average elevation of the terrain is 746 metres above sea level.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Mount Nothofagus National Park topographic map, elevation, relief|url=https://en-au.topographic-map.com/maps/d2np/Mount-Nothofagus-National-Park/|access-date=2021-11-11|website=topographic-map.com|language=en}}</ref>

The park is part of the Focal Peak Group [[World Heritage Site]] [[Gondwana Rainforests of Australia]] inscribed in 1986<ref name="ausgovdep">{{cite web |url=http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/places/world/gondwana/index.html |title=Gondwana Rainforests of Australia |access-date=10 September 2014|work=[[Department of the Environment (Australia)|Department of the Environment]]|publisher=[[Australian Government]] }}</ref> and added to the [[Australian National Heritage List]] in 2007.<ref name=anhl>{{cite web|url=http://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/ahdb/search.pl?mode=place_detail;place_id=105135|title=Gondwana Rainforests of Australia, Lismore, NSW, Australia|work=Australian Heritage Database: [[Department of the Environment (Australia)|Department of the Environment]]|date=2014|access-date=10 September 2014|publisher=[[Australian Government]]}}</ref>

The park is also part of the [[Scenic Rim]] [[Important Bird Area]], identified as such by [[BirdLife International]] because of its importance in the conservation of several species of [[threatened]] birds.<ref name=bli>{{cite web|publisher=[[BirdLife International]]|year=2011|work=Important Bird Areas factsheet|title=Scenic Rim|access-date=3 October 2011|url=http://www.birdlife.org}}</ref>

In November 2019 about three quarters of the park were burnt in a [[2019–20 Australian bushfire season|bushfire]], during a period of drought that was so severe that most of the rainforest gullies, which are usually moist enough to act as buffers to fire, were destroyed.
