Ozark Plateau National Wildlife Refuge, National wildlife refuge in Adair County, Oklahoma, United States

Ozark Plateau National Wildlife Refuge is a collection of separate land parcels in northeastern Oklahoma, in Adair County, set among wooded hills and valleys. The parcels contain numerous caves that provide habitat for endangered bats and the Ozark cavefish. The refuge is closed to the general public to protect these fragile cave and forest habitats.

Originally named Oklahoma Bat Caves National Wildlife Refuge, the refuge was renamed Ozark Plateau National Wildlife Refuge when it was established to protect endangered bats and their cave habitat. Its parcels lie in northeastern Oklahoma, in Adair County, about 12 km from Stilwell.

The refuge's name comes from the Ozark Plateau, the highland region of southern Missouri, northern Arkansas and northeastern Oklahoma where its cave parcels lie. Its original name, Oklahoma Bat Caves National Wildlife Refuge, referred directly to the caves that give the endangered bats their roosting and hibernation sites.

The refuge is closed to the general public to protect the caves and surrounding forest, so no visiting is possible. Its parcels lie in northeastern Oklahoma, in Adair County, about 12 km from Stilwell. The terrain around the parcels rises to 417 m, with Workman Mountain reaching 522 m about 1.8 km away.

The refuge was first named Oklahoma Bat Caves National Wildlife Refuge, and its parcels in northeastern Oklahoma hold caves used by the Ozark big-eared bat, gray bat, Indiana bat and Ozark cavefish. Because the caves and surrounding forest are fragile, the refuge is closed to the general public.
