Parco del Cormor, also known as Parco Botanico Friulano "Cormor" or Parco Botanico del Cormôr, is Udine's largest municipal park and botanical garden, covering 30 hectares in the northwest outskirts of the city in Friuli, Italy.

Created between 1990 and 1993 by architect Roberto Pirzio Biroli on a previously neglected urban site, the park won the International Piranesi Award for its design and represents an excellent example of land recovery and enhancement of local flora and fauna.

The park runs alongside the entire length of the Cormôr torrent (from which it takes its name), a 63-kilometer creek that flows from Monte di Buja through Friulian hills to the Marano and Grado lagoon, and its vegetation—including poplars, robins, maples, ashes, hornbeams, and oaks typical of the torrent area—has been protected and enhanced.
