Staaten River National Park, Nature reserve in Queensland, Australia

Staaten River National Park is a 4,700 km² reserve on the Cape York Peninsula in Far North Queensland, 320 km west of Cairns and 220 km northeast of Normanton. The Staaten River runs through it, crossing savanna woodland cut by ephemeral streams and a few permanent or semi-permanent waterholes. It is one of Queensland's least modified tropical savanna areas, with few exotic weeds or feral animals.

The Staaten River, which gives the park its name, was named in 1623 by the Dutch explorer Jan Carstensz, who took the name from the Dutch States General (Staten-Generaal). The river crosses the park, and the protected area was later established around this section of Cape York Peninsula savanna.

The Kunjen, Agwamin, Kutjar, Koknar and Kokoberrin peoples have deep ties to the rivers and land visible throughout the park. These connections shape how the landscape is used and which areas hold meaning for the local communities.

There are no access roads and no visitor facilities in the park, which lies 320 km west of Cairns and 220 km northeast of Normanton. The Burke Developmental Road runs a few kilometres beyond the northern boundary. Anyone entering must be self-reliant, and the ephemeral streams and waterholes are reached only with thorough planning.

Feral pigs root up the golden-shouldered parrots' nesting mounds and cut into their food supply; when pig numbers swell, the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service culls them, as it last did in 2011. The park also holds Australian bustards, bush stone-curlews, varied lorikeets and several honeyeater species.
