The Keibul Lamjao National Park is a national park in the state of Manipur in India. It is the last natural refuge of the brow-antlered deer (Cervus eldi eldi). The park lies 50 km from the city of Imphal and is situated on an island in the southeastern region of Loktak Lake. Keibul Lanjao covers some 40 km². It was protected in 1969 and became a national park in 1977. The lake is largely covered in floating mats of vegetation. It is also the home of other endangered species including a species of python (Python molurus molurus).
