Apsan Park is a large wilderness park located in the south of Daegu, South Korea. It covers a series of valleys and peaks of Apsan mountain.

Inside the park is a museum dedicated to the Korean War, especially the Nakdong River battle. The museum also contains an anti-communism hall. Nearby is a small amusement park and restaurants. A gondolla leads to one of the peaks, and a series of trails also lead to the various peaks.

Ansil-sa and a couple of other Buddhist temples are located within the park.
