Forest Park (French: Parc de Forest, pronounced [paʁk fɔʁɛ]) or Vorst Park (Dutch: Park van Vorst, pronounced [ˈpɑ(ə)k fɑɱ ˈvɔrst]) is an urban public park located in and named after the municipality of Forest in Brussels, Belgium. It was designed by Victor Besme and occupies an area of 13 ha (32 acres).

Forest Park is adjacent to Duden Park to its south, which is home to the stadium of Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, the historical football club from the neighbouring municipality of Saint-Gilles, although the club is not located in the municipality, whose border with Forest is to the north of Forest Park.

The park is surrounded by a set of streets that connect the Avenue Albert/Albertlaan to the Avenue Wielemans Ceuppens/Wielemans Ceuppenslaan, making them part of the Greater Ring. Those streets are the Avenue des Villas/Villalaan to the north, the Avenue du Mont Kemmel/Kemmelberglaan to the east, the Avenue Besme/Besmelaan to the south and the Avenue Reine Marie-Henriette/Koningin Maria-Hendrikalaan to the south-west.
