Parque Natural do Fogo, on the island of Fogo, is one of nine "natural parks" in the country of Cape Verde, which may or may not be the equivalent of national parks in other countries. The area is around 100 km², about the quarter of the island and includes several geographic features including Pico do Fogo and its crater rim and areas mainly 1,000 meters above sea level, the area of Chã das Caldeiras and now the villages (areas once a bulit-up area) and Monte Gordo, Cape Verde. The area includes the Fogo Volcanic Important Bird Area.

Numerous plants even those that are endemic including Echium vulcanorum and fauna are found in the national park.
