The '''Mundy Regional Park''' is a [[regional park]] located on the western edge of the [[Darling Scarp]], approximately {{convert|22|km}} east of Perth in Western Australia. The {{convert|56|ha|acre|adj=on}} park has commanding views of the [[Swan Coastal Plain]], the city of Perth and surrounding suburbs. The park is managed by the [[Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions]].
