A '''protected forest''' is a specific term to denote forests with some amount of legal, and / or constitutional protection in certain countries, besides being a generic term to denote forests where the habitat and resident species are legally accorded protection and are protected from any further depletion.

In [[India]], the term was first introduced in the [[Indian Forest Act, 1927]] to denote forests with a limited amount of protection in [[British India]]. The category of protection, and the term was retained after [[Indian independence]]. See [[Protected forests of India]] for details.
