Lawley River National Park is a national park in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, in the Shire of Wyndham–East Kimberley. The national park is located on the coast of the Admiralty Gulf but has no access roads.[1] [2] It is situated in the Northern Kimberley bioregion.[3]

In 2015, there was a proposal to merge the Prince Regent National Park, Mitchell River National Park and the Lawley River National Park to form a new Kimberley National Park, with a size of 5000000hectare after mining leases in the area had expired.[5]
