Bayanaul State National Natural Park is a national park in Kazakhstan, located in the south of Pavlodar Oblast, approximately 100 km south of the city of Ekibastuz. It is one of the specially protected natural areas of Kazakhstan.
The park was founded in 1985, becoming the first national park in Kazakhstan. The reason for creating the park was the need to preserve and restore the natural flora and fauna of the Bayanaul mountain range. The total area of the park is 684.5 square kilometers.
