The Comoé National Park is a national park located in Ivory Coast as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983.  The park was listed as such because of its richly diverse flora; the park contains a section of tropical rainforest which is typically only found further south on the African continent.

In 2003 the park was listed as 'in danger' by UNESCO, as a result of ongoing civil war in the country, as well as the persistent adverse effects of poaching, cattle over-grazing and the absence of a coherent management structure.
