The Kanangra-Boyd National Park is a protected national park that is located in the Central Tablelands region, west of the Southern Highlands and Macarthur regions, in New South Wales, in eastern Australia.
The 68,660-hectare （169,700-acre） national park is situated approximately 180 kilometres （110 mi） south-west of Sydney and is contiguous with the Blue Mountains National Park and the Nattai National Park.
The park was established in 1969.
The Kanangra-Boyd National Park is one of the eight protected areas that, in 2000, was inscribed to form part of the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Greater Blue Mountains Area.
The Kanangra-Boyd National Park is the most south–westerly of the eight protected areas within the World Heritage Site.
The national park forms part of the Great Dividing Range.
Notable features of the national park include the Thurat Spires, Kanangra Walls, Mount Colong, and three waterfall systems – the Kalang, the 225-metre （738 ft） two–tiered drop Kanangara and the Morong falls.
The park also features a series of karst landforms that can be explored by those with caving experience.
The movie Jedda was filmed in the Kanangra Walls area in 1954.
