The Arboreto Mediterraneo del Limbara is an 80-hectare arboretum located within the Foresta Demaniale di Monte Limbara Sud near Sassari in Sardinia, Italy, dedicated to collecting and preserving plant species native to the Mediterranean region.

Its mission focuses on educating people about the rich biodiversity of Mediterranean tree flora through thematic collections and reconstructions of main vegetation types, while also conserving rare, vulnerable, or threatened Mediterranean species. The arboretum serves both as a forestry research aid for universities and scientific entities and as a tourist attraction, featuring walking paths for visitors to explore.

It functions as part of a broader environmental promotion program for the Limbara territory, producing forest species for local renaturalization activities and promoting sustainable use of the area. The site includes a visitor center with educational classrooms, laboratories, documentation facilities, and conference rooms located in the Sa Dispensa area.
