Fish Creek Park is a provincial park located in the southern part of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It is one of the largest urban parks in North America, stretching 19 km (11 miles) from east to west. At , it is over three times the size of Vancouver's Stanley Park.

The growth of Calgary has left the park bordered on all sides by the city. It is also bordered on the west by the territory of the Tsuu T’ina Nation (Sarcee), a First Nation.

The Bow River as well as the Fish Creek pass through the park, which used to span the width of the city but because of growth the city has surpassed the edges of the park.
