Der "Nationalpark Virunga" (franz. "Parc national des Virunga") ist ein 7835 km² großer Nationalpark im Nordosten der Demokratischen Republik Kongo an der Grenze zu Ruanda und Uganda. Ebenso wie der Vulkan-Nationalpark in Ruanda entstand der Virunga-Nationalpark 1969 aus der Teilung des bereits seit 1925 bestehenden Albert-Nationalparks. Es handelt sich damit um Afrikas ältesten Nationalpark. Aufgrund der großen Höhenunterschiede sind Flora und Fauna im Nationalpark sehr vielfältig. Bekannt ist der Virunga-Nationalpark vor allem durch die hier vorkommenden Berggorillas.

The "Virunga National Park" (French: "Parc National des Virunga"), formerly named "Albert National Park", is a 7,800-square-kilometre (3,000 sq mi) National Park that stretches from the "Virunga Mountains" in the south, to the Rwenzori Mountains in the north, in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, bordering Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda and Rwenzori Mountains National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda.

The park was established in 1925 as Africa's first national park and is a UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site since 1979. In recent years, poaching and the Congo Civil War have seriously damaged its wildlife population. The park is managed by the Congolese National Park Authorities, the "Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature" ("ICCN") and its partner the "Virunga Foundation", formerly known as the Africa Conservation Fund (UK). The current park director since 2008 is the Belgian Prince Emmanuel de Merode.
