Aspromonte National Park is situated in the southern section of the Apennines, in Calabria, Italy.

The park lies near the sea and includes mountain summits with altitudes close to 2000 meters (Montalto is 1,955 m).

The park's territory, crossed by several watercourses, is populated by important species such as Italian wolf, peregrine falcon, Eurasian eagle-owl and northern goshawk. Most of the territory is dominated by forests of beech, silver fir, black pine, holm oak, sweet chestnut and Mediterranean maquis shrubland. A couple of rare species live here: Bonelli's eagle and a tropical fern, Woodwardia radicans.

Surrounded by the Mediterranean, the park is also rich in historical, artistic and archaeological value.

The park obtained recognition of UNESCO Global Geopark on April 21, 2021.{{Cite web |title=Parco Nazionale dell'Aspromonte |url=https://www.parconazionaleaspromonte.it/Eindex.php |access-date=2025-01-13 |website=www.parconazionaleaspromonte.it |language=en}}
