Utah State Parks is the common name for the Utah Division of State Parks;<ref name=utahgov>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> a division of the Utah Department of Natural Resources. This is the state agency that manages the state park system of the state of Utah in the United States.

Utah's state park system began with four heritage parks in 1957: Sugar House Park (which was later removed from the system), Utah Territorial Statehouse in Fillmore, This Is the Place Monument in Salt Lake City, and Camp Floyd outside of Fairfield. Today, there are 46 Utah State Parks and several undeveloped areas totaling over Template:Convert of land and more than one million surface acres of water. Utah's state parks are scattered throughout Utah; from Bear Lake State Park at the Utah/Idaho border to Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum deep in the Four Corners region, and everywhere in between.

The Division of State Parks also administers the Utah off highway vehicle, boating, and trails programs. In this capacity, they work to provide access to waterways and trails, and promote education, safety, and resource protection.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The division's mission statement is "To enhance the quality of life by preserving and providing natural, cultural, and recreational resources for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations."
