Yelverton National Park is a national park in the South West region of Western Australia, {{convert|252|km}} south of Perth. It is located in the local government area of the City of Busselton in the locality of Yelverton, {{convert|30|km}} from Busselton and {{convert|20|km}} from Margaret River, on the Bussell Highway.

The creation of this park out of two reserves, namely a {{convert|725|ha|adj=on}} former timber reserve and a {{convert|4|ha|0|adj=on}} crown reserve for water was proposed under the Regional Forest Agreement for the South-West Forest in May 1999 and implemented under the Forrest Management Plan (2004–2013).{{cite web|url=https://www.parliament.wa.gov.au/Parliament/Bills.nsf/873B3076AB9C6B5148256EBC000D142D/$File/EM_Bill306-1.pdf|title=Clause 8. Class A reserve No. 47672 in the Shire of Busselton|publisher=Parliament of Western Australia|access-date=8 October 2019}} In 2004, the area was declared a national park.{{cite web|url=http://www.environment.gov.au/system/files/pages/d00ca066-1c8c-412a-9e16-2a37647454a7/files/capad2014wa.xlsx|title=Terrestrial Protected Areas in Western Australia (2014)|publisher=Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities|access-date=8 October 2019|format=XLSX}} It was protected due to its high concentration of rare and priority species and its diverse range of vegetation types. There are no visitor facilities in the park.{{cite web|url=https://parks.dpaw.wa.gov.au/park/yelverton|title=Yelverton National Park|publisher=Parks and Wildlife Service|access-date=9 October 2019}}
