Bickelhaupt Arboretum, Outdoor botanical museum in Clinton, Iowa, United States.
The fourteen-acre Bickelhaupt Arboretum maintains collections of labeled trees, shrubs, ground covers, perennials, and annual flowers throughout its grounds.

The garden conifer collection contains over 600 cultivars from 14 hardy genera, including 100 Witches' Brooms specimens, with three occurring naturally.
