Sierra Norte de Sevilla Natural Park, Protected natural area in northern Seville Province, Spain.

The Sierra Morena de Sevilla Natural Park, called Sierra Norte de Sevilla until March 2023, covers 177,484 hectares across ten municipalities of the Sierra Norte comarca. It is low mountain country between 260 and 968 metres, with dehesa of holm and cork oak and rivers running north to south toward the Guadalquivir. The Rivera del Huéznar, the only trout river in all of Sierra Morena, feeds the Cascadas del Huéznar below San Nicolás del Puerto.

The park was declared a protected natural space in 1989, covering 177,484 hectares across ten municipalities of the Sierra Norte, including Alanís, Cazalla de la Sierra and Constantina. In September 2011 it joined the European Geoparks Network, and in November 2015 it became a UNESCO Global Geopark. In March 2023 the Junta de Andalucía renamed it from Sierra Norte de Sevilla to Sierra Morena de Sevilla.

The park covers ten municipalities, from Alanís and Almadén de la Plata to San Nicolás del Puerto, with about 30,000 inhabitants. The natural park permits forestry and livestock farming, so the dehesa of holm and cork oaks is a working landscape. In 2009 a manual of good hunting-environment practices was drawn up to regulate exploitation of the park's resources.

The park spans ten municipalities, from Alanís and Almadén de la Plata to San Nicolás del Puerto and Las Navas de la Concepción, so routes are reached from different villages rather than one gate. The Cascadas del Huéznar lie downstream of San Nicolás del Puerto, and the Cerro del Hierro, a former Roman iron mine, is set up for walking and climbing.

In September 2011 the park joined the European Geoparks Network, and in November 2015 it became a UNESCO Global Geopark. Its rocks are mostly Proterozoic and Palaeozoic, shaped by the Cadomian and Variscan orogenies, with Miocene sedimentary outcrops in the south-east. The dominant northwest-southeast direction shows in the schistosity, folds and large fractures that separate geological domains.
