Juquery State Park, State park in São Paulo, Brazil.

The name derives from yu-kery, a plant found along rivers that indigenous populations used to extract salt for food seasoning.

The park contains the Ovo da Pata landmark, reaching 942 meters in altitude, making it the highest point in the protected area.
