Alton is a national park in the Balonne Shire local government area of South West Queensland, Australia, 371 km west of Brisbane and 75 km east of St George, adjacent to Moonie Highway. It covers 5.58 km2 (2.15 sq mi) of land within the Brigalow Belt South bioregion. The area was preserved because it contains vegetation of limited occurrence, interesting plant species and attractive wildflowers.
Alton National Park was declared in 1973. The park is divided by the Moonie Highway and surrounded by grazing properties. A total of four rare or threatened species have been identified within Alton. Alton has tourist potential, although at the moment visitors must be self-reliant. The park has no facilities for campers.
