{{nihongo|Ōnuma Quasi-National Park|大沼国定公園|Ōnuma Kokutei Kōen}} is a {{Convert|90.83|km2|mi2|abbr=on}} quasi-national park on the Oshima Peninsula in southwest Hokkaidō, Japan. The park encompasses the volcanic {{nihongo|Hokkaidō Komagatake|北海道駒ケ岳|Hokkaidō Koma-ga-take}} as well as the {{nihongo|Ōnuma|大沼}} and {{nihongo|Konuma|小沼}} ponds, which abut against the west slope of the mountain. The park, which was designated as quasi-national in 1958, is the smallest major park in Hokkaidō.

Ōnuma and Konuma were created when mudflows due to eruptions of Hokkaidō Koma-ga-take dammed up depressions at the base of the mountain. The ponds, which are dotted with watershields, are surrounded by birch and maple forests.
