The Territory Wildlife Park is a zoo at Berry Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia, some {{Convert|31|km}} (about a 45 minutes drive) south of Darwin. It opened in 1989. Situated on 400 ha of natural bushland, it contains native animals and plants representative of Northern Territory, and especially Top End tropical monsoonal, environments. It contributes to their conservation through research programs as well as through public education. The three main habitats represented are woodland, wetland and monsoon vine forest.

The Territory Wildlife Park is a member of the Zoo and Aquarium Association (ZAA).
