Lò Gò-Xa Mát National Park (Vietnamese: Vườn quốc gia Lò Gò-Xa Mát) is a national park in the Southeast region of Vietnam, approximately 30 kilometres (19 mi) from the city of Tây Ninh.[1] It was established by upgrading the status of the former Lò Gò-Xa Mát Nature Reserve[citation needed]. After receiving national park status in 2002, the park was expanded in 2020 to cover an area of 30,022 hectares (115.92 sq mi).[2][3]

It is the largest single forested area in Tây Ninh Province, and 177 species of birds and ten mammal species have been confirmed to live in the park boundaries.[4] Biomes include broadleaf tropical forests, and seasonally flooded grasslands.[1]
