Mokare Park is a park located on Mount Melville in Albany in the Great Southern region of Western Australia.

The park was named after a Noongar man, Mokare, who was a well-known an effective mediator and peacemaker between the Indigenous population and European settlers in the region.

The area is predominantly composed of natural bushland that is of significance to the local Minang peoples. The area was traditionally used as a meeting place for rituals, trading and marriage arrangements.

The park was first gazetted in 1946 in recognition of Mokare's contribution to the exploration of the Great Southern and South West regions of Western Australia.
