The Capitol Hill Parks are an umbrella collection of a number of urban parks near the United States Capitol Building, all managed by the National Park Service as a single unit.

Four main parks in the unit include Capitol Hill's Folger Park, which is named in honor of Secretary of the Treasury Charles J. Folger and offers unique concrete-and-pebble fountain benches for relaxation and atmosphere. Lincoln Park, Capitol Hill's largest park, spans seven acres between 11th and 13th Streets NE and SE and is home to a grassy turf area popular with neighborhood dog owners. Marion Park, commonly known as Turtle Park, offers a children's playground, while Stanton Park, also referred to as Stanton Square, is preserved from Pierre L'Enfant's original city design.

Additionally, 59 city triangles and squares are also maintained under the park umbrella, including spaces at the Eastern Market Metro Station, Seward Square, Twining Square, and the Maryland and Pennsylvania Avenue Medians.
