Prince Albert National Park encompasses 3,874 square kilometres (1,496 sq mi) in central Saskatchewan, Canada and is located 200 kilometres (120 mi) north of Saskatoon. Though declared a national park March 24, 1927, official opening ceremonies were performed by Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King on August 10, 1928. This park is open all year but the most visited period is from May to September. Although named for the city, the park's main entrance is actually 80 km (50 mi) north of Prince Albert via Highways 2 and 263 which enters the park at its southeast corner. Two additional secondary highways enter the park, No. 264, which branches off Hwy. 2 just east of the Waskesiu townsite, and No. 240, which enters the park from the south and links with 263 just outside the entry fee-collection gates.

It ranges in elevation from 488 m (1,601 ft) on the western side to 724 m (2,375 ft) on the eastern side.

The hamlet Waskesiu Lake is the only settlement within the park, located on the southern shore of the same-named lake. Most facilities and services one would expect to find in a multi-use park are available. Otherwise, the park is not located within any rural municipality, and is politically separate from the adjacent Northern Saskatchewan Administration District (NSAD).

This Canadian park also contains the cabin of naturalist and conservationist Grey Owl, on Ajawaan Lake.

The park's development as a recreation destination has led to the region immediately southeast of the park boundaries – locations such as Christopher Lake, Emma Lake, Sunnyside Beach, and Anglin Lake, themselves becoming popular recreation destinations. Additional development has taken place just beyond the park's eastern entry.

Until the establishment of Grasslands National Park in the 1980s, it was the province's only national park.
