Šumava National Park and Protected Landscape Area ( _cs. Národní park a chráněná krajinná oblast Šumava, usually shortened as NP a CHKO Šumava) are a National Park and a Protected Landscape Area in the Plzeň and South Bohemian Regions of the Czech Republic along the border with Germany (where a smaller Bayerischer National Park lies) and Austria. They protect a little-inhabited area of the mountain range of the same name, the Šumava.

The Šumava Range is covered by the most extensive forest in Central Europe, whose natural composition was, however, changed and today spruce plantations prevail in most of the area. In many places non-native spruce varietes were planted. These are not well adapted to the harsh local climate and are therefore susceptible to a range of elements, such as strong winds (e.g. in the 1980s or recently at the beginning of 2007) and bark beetle ("Ips typographus"). Numerous large plateaux with raised peat bogs, glacial lakes and remnants of primeval forests (e.g. Boubín) complete a mosaic of habitats which are little disturbed by human settlements as most of the predominantly German speaking inhabitants were expelled after the World War II and the area became a part of the deserted zone along the Eastern block border. Since the 1970s there's been a stable population of lynxes.

Originally, a large Landscape Protected Area was declared on 1963-12-27 covering most of the Šumava Range. On 1991-03-20 the most valuable part of the area was declared a National Park with the rest of the Landscape Protected Area serving as its buffer zone.
