Parc de Maurepas, Urban park in northern Rennes, France.

Parc de Maurepas is an urban park in northern Rennes with expanses of grass, pathways, and zones designed for different uses and activities. It includes children's play areas, skating spaces, and planted beds with flowers and trees.

Land for the park was bought in 1934 under mayor Jean Lemaistre, and work began in 1935 or 1936. The Versailles landscape architect Georges Moser delivered the planting and drawing work in October 1937, and the park opened to the public on Sunday 23 July 1939, the day after a municipal visit led by François Château. It then had a keeper's house and stood on the Mairie–Parc de Maurepas tram line.

The park's name comes from the Maurepas neighbourhood, although it actually lies in Jeanne d'Arc. Since May 2024 it has held a 5,000 m² Chinese garden built to mark Rennes' twinning with Jinan, with a carp and lotus pond, a waterfall and traditional gates; tea plants are grown there. A bronze bull by Louis Derbré has stood in the park since 2002.

The main entrance is at the southern corner where boulevards Paul-Painlevé and Raymond-Poincaré meet, opening onto the lawn and belvedere; four other gates sit on boulevard Painlevé, rue Francis-Pellerin, rue Courteline and boulevard Poincaré. Bus lines C2, 14 and 32 stop at Painlevé and Assomption, and since 2022 metro line B serves Joliot-Curie - Chateaubriand.

In 1952, earthworks in the park uncovered 140 coins dated 1692 and 1701. A bronze bull sculpted by Louis Derbré has stood in the park since 2002. In May 2024 a 5,000 m² Chinese garden designed by a landscape gardener from Jinan, Rennes' twin city, was inaugurated, with a carp and lotus pond, a waterfall and traditional gates.
