The Iguazú National Park is a national park of Argentina, located in the Iguazú Department, in the north of Misiones, Argentine Mesopotamia. It has an area of 677 km2 (261 sq mi).

The park was created in 1934 to protect one of the most incredible natural beauties of Argentina, the Iguazu Falls, surrounded by the subtropical jungle.

The Iguazú National Reserve was defined by law 18.801 of 7 October 1970 as constituting the western part of the Iguazú National Park. While the national park preserves nature with the least possible alteration, the reserve admits human activities and infrastructure. The creation of the reserve allowed the construction of an international airport and the alienation of land for three tourist hotels. Across the Iguazu River lies its Brazilian counterpart (Iguaçu National Park). Both sites were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 1984.

The Iguazú River ends in the Paraná River 23 km beyond the falls, after a 1320 km course. Inside the park, it becomes up to 1,500 m wide and turns first south, then north, forming a large U-shape. Its banks are densely populated by trees, including the ceibo (Cockspur coral tree), Argentina's national flower. The park's flora also features lapacho negro and lapacho Amarillo (family Bignoniaceae), palmito trees, and the 40-meter-high palo rosa (family Apocynaceae).
