Talisker Conservation park is located on the South-Western area of the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia. It is close to the town of Cape Jervis and adjacent to Deep Creek Conservation Park. The park has an area of 212ha.

Talisker Conservation Park became a conservation park in 1976 after a period of 104 years of intermittent mining activity in the area. The park owes its name to the two McLeod brothers who discovered an outcrop of silver-lead ore while searching for gold in 1862. The Talisker Mining company was formed the same year and employed 20 miners to extract the ore from the lode of ore named the 'Talisker of Scotland' after a locality in the brother's homeland, the 'Isle of Skye'.
