National nature parks of Ukraine are preservation territories that are part of the Nature-Preservation Fund of Ukraine. The total area protected by national parks is approximately 1,111,600 hectares (11,116 km²), for an average of 22,685 hectares (226.85 km²) but a median of only 14,836 hectares (148.36 km²) at Zalissia. The largest national park is Podilski Tovtry in Khmelnytskyi Oblast: at 80,178 hectares (801.78 km²). The smallest park is Derman-Ostroh National Nature Park, at less than 5,500 hectares (55 km²).

This category of the Nature-Preservation Fund was mainly established after the fall of the Soviet Union. There were very few parks in Ukraine and most of them were in the West.
