Daarrba National Park, Nature reserve in Cape York Peninsula, Australia.

Daarrba National Park is a nature reserve on Cape York Peninsula that protects multiple ecosystems across different landscape types. The park includes wetlands, riverine habitats, and semi-deciduous vine forests that grow on floodplains and basalt soils.

The park was gazetted on 8 December 1995 as Mount Webb National Park. On 28 November 2013 it was renamed Daarrba National Park (Cape York Peninsula Aboriginal Land), the name now also acknowledging Aboriginal ownership of the land. It lies 45 km north of Cooktown and 90 km north-east of Laura, and covers 4.1 km².

The park's name Daarrba comes from the Aboriginal language of the Cape York Peninsula, and since 28 November 2013 the former Mount Webb National Park has carried it as part of its title as Cape York Peninsula Aboriginal Land. The renaming places the park within a land tenure held under Aboriginal ownership and jointly managed, so the name itself records who holds the country.

There is no access to the park and no visitor facilities; the Starcke Wakooka Track, suitable only for four-wheel-drive vehicles, runs along its eastern boundary. The park lies 45 km north of Cooktown and 90 km northeast of Laura. Neighbouring parks include Starcke, Melsonby (Gaarraay), Endeavour River and Three Islands Group.

The park protects a rare example of complex rainforest on basalt soils within the Cape York Peninsula bioregion, including semi-deciduous notophyll/microphyll vine forest in a shallow valley. A threatened sclerophyll woodland of Eucalyptus leptophleba, Corymbia tessellaris and Corymbia clarksoniana grows on soils formed from basalt flows.
