Leopold Park (French: Parc Léopold, pronounced; Dutch: Leopoldpark, pronounced) is an urban public park of 6.43 ha (15.9 acres) located within the Leopold Quarter (European Quarter) of Brussels, Belgium. It is adjacent to the Museum of Natural Sciences and the Paul-Henri Spaak building, the seat of the European Parliament.

The park's outstanding feature is its pond, fed by the Maelbeek stream. Many rare trees (remnants of a botanical garden) and animals such as mallards, moorhens, coots, and even Egyptian geese and rose-ringed parakeets thrive in this urban environment.
