Kalamunda National Park is a national park in Western Australia, 23 kilometres (14 mi) east of Perth, near the town of Kalamunda.
The park is composed of typical Darling Scarp woodland including species of Marri, Jarrah and Wandoo with a diverse understorey including a range of wildflowers.
Piesse Brook flows through the park before joining the Helena River, making the park and important catchment area for both the Helena and the Swan River.
No fees apply to enter the park but facilities exist within the park for visitors apart from several walk trails including the northern end of the Bibbulmun Track.
The park lies within the Mundaring-Kalamunda Important Bird Area, so identified by BirdLife International because of its importance as a non-breeding season roost site and foraging base for Long-billed Black Cockatoos.
