The Errinundra National Park is a national park in eastern Gippsland in Victoria, Australia, 352 kilometers east of Melbourne. The park is located on the Errinundra Plateau, a spur of the Monaro Tableland in New South Wales. The Errinundra National Park is home to the largest surviving cold - temperate rainforest in Victoria and therefore the most spectacular primary forests of southeastern Australia. There are also many rare and endangered animal and plant species, eg the Australian owl, the giant quoll and the Long-legged rabbit kangaroo.

Cold - and warm - temperate rain forest, moist forest, mountain forest and subalpine light forest is the dominant vegetation. There are also sub-alpine wetlands.

The largest part of the park is accessible only in the drier months. In the winter rain and snow make the dirt roads usually impassable.

The forests around the park are being cut down extensively, and there were also some incidents of accidental deforestation in the National Park because of administrative errors. In addition, there was before the establishment of the national park already massive clearcutting.
