Muqqiwn Provincial Park, Provincial park in Strathcona Regional District, Canada.

Muqqiwn Provincial Park covers most of Brooks Peninsula, which juts 20 km into the Pacific Ocean on Vancouver Island's west coast. Its Refugium Range includes Snowsaddle Mountain's 1,143 m sub-peak, Klaskish Peak (963 m), Nunatak (930 m) and Doom Mountain (787 m). The coastline has long fjords and sandy beaches, while the interior is densely wooded with mostly old-growth forest.

A 28,780-hectare recreation area was created here in 1986; in 1995 it became a Class A provincial park and 22,851 hectares of the Brooks-Nasparti area were added. The park was renamed Brooks Peninsula Provincial Park on 13 July 2009 and took the name Mquqwin/Brooks Peninsula Provincial Park in 2018 under the guidance of the Che:k'tles7et'h' peoples.

The park lies within the traditional territory of the Kyuquot/Cheklesahht and Quatsino First Nations. Battle Bay, in the southern part of the peninsula, saw many battles fought to keep control of this prosperous area. First Nations reserves next to the southern park boundary are not for recreational use, and visitors are asked to contact the Kyuquot/Cheklesahht band office in Kyuquot before exploring.

The park has no road access, no marked trails and no facilities; camping is allowed anywhere but complicated by remoteness. Most visitors arrive by boat or float plane from Quatsino Sound to the north or Kyuquot Sound to the south, and boats and float planes can be chartered in Kyuquot and Zeballos. Contact the Kyuquot/Cheklesahht band office before exploring, and note that Solander Island and adjacent reserves are closed to visitors.

The peninsula was never covered by glaciers during the last ice age, so peaks above about 700 metres formed a refugium where rare plants survived. The Refugium Range, including Klaskish Peak at 963 metres, Nunatak at 930 metres and Doom Mountain at 787 metres, is named for this.
