Bellevue State Park is a state park of Iowa, USA, along the banks of the Mississippi River just south of Bellevue.

The park lies in two separate tracts. The Nelson Unit is at the immediate south edge of Bellevue on U.S. Route 52 (The Great River Road), atop a 300-foot (91 m) limestone bluff. The Dyas Unit is 2 miles (3.2 km) farther south on U.S. 52.

Bellevue State Park offers high bluffs with scenic views of the Mississippi River amidst 788 acres (3.19 km2) of timbered walking trails, a unique butterfly sanctuary as well as an enclosed nature center.
