Parco Rio Vallone, Local park of supra-communal interest in Lombardy, Italy.
Parco Rio Vallone was a local park of supra-communal interest covering 1,494 hectares along the Vallone stream, in the provinces of Monza and Brianza, Lecco and the metropolitan city of Milan.

Established by regional decree DGR n. 5/21784 on 23 April 1992 among the municipalities of Basiano, Bellusco, Cavenago di Brianza, Masate and Ornago, the park was later enlarged. Cambiago and Gessate joined but left in 2016 and 2014 respectively. In June 2017 it merged with Parco del Molgora to form Parco Agricolo Nord Est.
The park's name comes from the Vallone stream, which runs through all eleven municipalities. Since June 2017 it has been part of the Parco Agricolo Nord Est, formed by merging with the Parco del Molgora. The land is farmed countryside in the Lombard plain, where the flora and fauna of the Pianura Lombarda can be seen along the stream.
