Als National Historical Park werden in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika Einrichtungen oder Orte ausgewiesen, die als Denkmäler historisch bedeutend sind. Fast alle National Historic Parks stehen im Eigentum der US-Bundesregierung und sie werden vom National Park Service unter dem Dach des Innenministeriums verwaltet.
Beispiele für National Historical Parks sind:
- Der Chaco Culture National Historical Park – ein Siedlungszentrum der Pueblo-Kultur zwischen 850 und 1250.
- Die Ortschaft Appomattox Court House – in der 1865 die Nord-Virginia-Armee des konföderierten Heeres am Ende des Sezessionskriegs kapitulierte.
- Der Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park – der Ort des Klondike-Goldrausches in Alaska, 1896.
Einzelne historisch bedeutenden Gebäude oder kleinräumigere Denkmäler des Bundes werden als National Historic Site ausgewiesen.
