Rajaji National Park is an Indian national park that encompasses the Shivaliks, near the foothills of the Himalayas.

It is spread over 820 km² and three districts of Uttarakhand: Haridwar, Dehradun and Pauri Garhwal.

In 1983, three wildlife sanctuaries in the area namely, Chilla, Motichur and Rajaji sanctuaries were merged into one.

Rajaji National Park has been named after C. Rajagopalachari (Rajaji), a prominent leader of the Freedom Struggle, the second and last Governor-General of independent India and one of the first recipients of India's highest civilian award Bharat Ratna (in 1954).
