Innes is a national park on the southwest tip of Yorke Peninsula in South Australia (Australia), 160 km west of Adelaide. Innes is the largest area of native vegetation remaining on the Yorke Peninsula, providing habitat for 115 species of conservation significance.

Innes National Park includes the former gypsum mining town of Inneston established in 1912 and abandoned in 1930 and the supporting port of Stenhouse Bay. Some of the buildings have been restored and are available for hire for camping. A number of salt lakes are in the park area, but excluded from the national park so they can still be mined for gypsum if required. It includes rugged coastline including the sites of several historic shipwrecks and two lighthouses. The wreck of the Ethel was well-preserved on the beach for many years, but has now succumbed to the elements.
