Montrose Parkis a 16-acre public park in Washington, D.C.'s Georgetown neighborhood, originally operated as a picnic ground as part of the estate of ropemaker Robert Parrott.

The park was added to Georgetown's Rock Creek Park following lobbying by activist Sarah Louisa Rittenhouse and was acquired by the United States government in 1911. Today, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, located adjacent to Dumbarton Oaks Park and Oak Hill Cemetery along R Street Northwest.

Many prominent park features are preserved from the land's estate use, including a summer home and a 500-foot ropewalk, originally constructed in 1804. Two sets of tennis courts have been added to the park since its government acquisition, along with a large children's playground and connector trails to nearby Rock Creek Park.
