The Botanischer Garten (Botanical Garden) in Gütersloh, Germany, is a 3-hectare fenced section within the larger 15.5-hectare Stadtpark (City Park) located at Parkstraße, just 10 minutes' walk from Gütersloh's city center.

Created in 1912 as the botanical garden's centennial was celebrated in 2012, it sits in the northeastern corner of the Stadtpark, which was originally designed between 1906–1909 by garden architect Friedrich Wilhelm Schoedder in the English landscape park style. The botanical garden is organized into themed rooms with geometric pools, arcades, and high hornbeam hedges, featuring plants from around the world including medicinal/healing plants that visitors can discover.

The wider park includes a rose garden (1941), birch grove (1950), herb garden (1998), sculpture garden (2000), orchard with heritage fruit varieties, mini golf course, and multiple playgrounds for children. Both the Stadtpark and botanical garden are open year-round with free admission—the park is accessible 24/7 while the botanical garden opens at 8:00 AM until dusk (latest 9:00 PM).
