Ueno Park (上野公園 Ueno Kōen) is a spacious public park located in the Ueno section of Taito-ku, Tokyo, Japan. It occupies the site of the former Kan'eiji , a temple closely associated with the Tokugawa shoguns, who had built the temple to guard Edo Castle against the northeast. The temple was destroyed during the Boshin War.

A famous statue of Saigo Takamori walking his dog stands in this park.

Three museums (including the Tokyo National Museum and the Tokyo National Science Museum) and a concert hall, a Toshogu shrine, the Shinobazu Pond with its Benzaiten shrine, and the Ueno Zoo make this area a tourist and recreation area popular with both Japanese and foreigners.

Ueno Park and its surroundings figure prominently in Japanese fiction, including Gan (The Wild Goose ) by Mori Ogai.
