Attingham Park /ˈætɪŋəm/ is an English country house and estate in Shropshire. Located near the village of Atcham, on the B4380 Shrewsbury to Wellington road. It is owned by the National Trust. It is a Grade I listed building.

Attingham Park was built in 1785 for Noel Hill, 1st Baron Berwick, who already owned a house on the site called Tern Hall. With money he inherited, along with his title, he commissioned the architect George Steuart to design a new and grander house to be built around the original hall. The new country house encompassed the old property entirely, and once completed it was given the name Attingham Hall.

The Estate comprises roughly 4,000 acres, and the extensive 640 acres (270 hectares) of parkland and gardens of Attingham have a Grade II* Listed status. Over 510,000 people visited in 2020/21, placing it as the most popular National Trust property.

Across the 640 acre parkland there are five Grade II* listed buildings, including the stable block, the Tern Lodge toll house which can be seen on the B4380, and two bridges that span the River Tern. There are also twelve Grade II listed structures including the retaining walls of the estate, the bee house, the ice house, the walled garden, the ha-ha, which can be seen in the front of the mansion, and the Home Farm.
