Inwood Hill Park is a city-owned and maintained public park in Upper Manhattan, New York City. It stretches along the Hudson River from Dyckman Street to the northern tip of the island.

Inwood Park's densely-folded glacially-scoured topography contains the largest remaining forest land on Manhattan Island and is the only natural (non-landscaped) park on the island. It is run and operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.

As the name suggests, large areas of the park are hills, mostly wooded. Many foot and bike paths criss-cross it. The park also contains three children's playgrounds; baseball and soccer fields; tennis and basketball courts.
All of these facilities are popular with people from the neighborhood, for both organized leagues (including the local Little League) and more casual games.

The Inwood Hill Nature Center at the north end of the park is both a location for educational programs and the local headquarters of the Urban Park Rangers.
