Ujście Warty Landscape Park, also, Warta River Mouth Landscape Park,[1] (Polish: Park Krajobrazowy Ujście Warty) is a protected area (a Landscape Park) in western Poland, along the lower stretches of the Warta river as it approaches its confluence with the Odra (Oder). The Park was established in 1996.

The Park is mostly within Lubusz Voivodeship, although it also extends northwards along the east bank of the Odra into West Pomeranian Voivodeship (Myślibórz County, Gmina Boleszkowice). It borders the Ujście Warty National Park, which was established in 2001 (formerly being part of the Landscape Park). The name Ujście Warty means "mouth of the Warta", the Polish word ujście also being used for the termination of a river even when it flows into another river or lake rather than the sea.
