Ilam Park is a 158-acre (0.64 km2) country park situated in Ilam, on both banks of the River Manifold five miles (8 km) north west of Ashbourne, England, and in the ownership of the National Trust. The property is managed as part of the Trust's White Peak Estate.

(Ashbourne, the 'post town', is in Derbyshire and thus so is Ilam's postal address, but the Park and Ilam are in Staffordshire. Staffordshire can be used for postal purposes. The county boundary is the River Dove.)

The property consists of Ilam Hall and remnants of its gardens, an ancient semi-natural woodland — Hinkley Wood — designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), noted for its small-leaved and large-leaved limes and their hybrids.
