Monte Roraima National Park (Portuguese: Parque Nacional do Monte Roraima) is a national park in the state of Roraima, northern Brazil.

It includes the Brazilian section of Mount Roraima, and other mountains along the borders with Venezuela and Guyana, and a diverse environment including tropical rainforest and savanna.

The park is fully contained within the Raposa Serra do Sol indigenous territory, and has the dual role of conserving the environment and supporting the constitutional rights of the indigenous people.
