Kejimkujik National Park () is a national park of Canada, covering 404 km2 (156 sq mi) in the southwest of Nova Scotia peninsula. Located within three municipalities, Annapolis, Queens, and Digby, it consists of two separate land areas: a large inland portion, which is coincident with the Kejimkujik National Historic Site of Canada, and the Kejimkujik National Park Seaside on the province's Atlantic coast. Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site is located within, and (together with the adjoining Tobeatic Wilderness Area) comprises the core protected area component of the UNESCO Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve, designated for its outstanding biodiversity value. Kejimkujik is the only heritage site in Canada that has the dual designation as both a national park and a national historic site for the entirety of its landscape. Designated in 1994, the national historic site is a Mi'kmaq cultural landscape of forested upland plain located between Nova Scotia's South Shore and Annapolis Valley regions. It is home to several petroglyph sites, historical habitation sites, fishing, hunting and foraging territories, important historical travel routes (particularly canoe routes), and burial grounds dating back millennia.
