John Paul Jones Memorial Park, Memorial park and National Register of Historic Places site in Kittery, United States.

The two-acre park near the Piscataqua River contains multiple military monuments, specimen trees, and grassy spaces along United States Route 1.

The state legislature named the park after naval commander John Paul Jones in 1927, following its establishment in 1926 as a memorial for Maine soldiers.

The Soldiers and Sailors Memorial features a gold bronze relief by sculptor Bashka Paeff, mounted on granite to honor military service members.

The park provides access to historical information through multiple monuments, including the Sloop Ranger monument relocated from Badger's Island in 1963.

The Province of Maine Monument, installed in 1931, commemorates the 1635 chartering of the English Province of Maine to Sir Ferdinando Gorges.
