Mizhrichynskyi Regional Landscape Park (Ukrainian: Міжрічинський регіональний ландшафтний парк) is the largest regional landscape park in Ukraine. It was founded in 2002 near the village Otrokhy in Kozelets Raion (currently in Chernihiv Raion) of Chernihiv Oblast. It is located between two large rivers, the Dnipro and Desna, from which the park's Ukrainian name meaning "between the rivers" is derived.

The Desna river forms the eastern boundary of the park, while the western and southern boundaries coincide with the border of Chernihiv region. There are many swamps, bogs and lakes.
