Daintree is a national park in Far North Queensland (Australia), 1502 km northwest of Brisbane and 100 km northwest of Cairns. It was founded in 1988, when it also was nominated for the World Heritage List.
Much of the national park is covered by rainforest. The Greater Daintree Rainforest has existed continuously for more than 110 million years, making it possibly the oldest existing rainforest.
The park is the location of the bouncing stones Aboriginal site.
