Mount Lewis National Park is a protected area in north Queensland, Australia, that conserves forested highland around Mount Lewis. The park preserves habitat typical of the Wet Tropics bioregion, including upland rainforest.

Visitors use the park for bushwalking, birdwatching and rainforest study; the area is known for native bird species and isolated upland ecosystems. Tracks are generally unsealed and the park is relatively remote compared with coastal reserves.

The park was declared to protect the upland ecosystems and the species they support, and it forms part of a network of protected highland areas in northern Queensland. Management emphasizes conservation of rainforest and endemic wildlife.

Mount Lewis National Park lies inland on the Atherton Tablelands region of Far North Queensland. It is situated west of the coastal corridor and is accessed from regional towns in the Tablelands area.

Mount Lewis is accessed from the Atherton Tablelands region in north Queensland. Regional roads lead to trackheads; four-wheel drive may be required for some access points. Consult Queensland Parks and local visitor centres for current access and recommended routes.

• Prepare for hot, humid tropical conditions and bring adequate water and insect protection.
• Check with Queensland Parks for ranger advice on sensitive zones and species protections.
• Guided walks with Indigenous rangers can provide cultural context and improved wildlife sightings.
