The Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park ("Nationalpark Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft") is Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's largest national park situated at the coast of the Baltic Sea. It consists of several peninsulas and islands in the Baltic Sea, belonging to the districts of Rügen and Nordvorpommern.

The national park includes:

* the Darß peninsula
* the western coast of the island of Rügen
* the island of Hiddensee
* the island of Ummanz
* several tiny islets between the above places

The national park is characterised by very shallow water housing a unique coastal fauna. All portions of the national park are famous for being a resting place for tens of thousands of cranes and geese.

Its area is 805 km².
