Rokua National Park (Finnish: Rokuan kansallispuisto) is a UNESCO Global Geopark in the Northern Ostrobothnia region of Finland.

## Location

The national park is located on the southern side of the Rokuanvaara Hill, where old pine forests grow in their natural state. The park lies within the municipalities of Vaala, Muhos and Utajärvi and in between the cities of Oulu and Kajaani.

* Drumlins
* Eskers
* Hummocky moraines

Post-glacial development has left berms, ravines, dunes and peat bogs in the park area.
