Lewis Park Natural Area is a Seattle Parks and Recreation-operated natural area located along the northeastern slopes of the city's Beacon Hill, just south of Interstate 90.

The park, which was originally donated to the city by W.H. Lewis in 1911, was long abandoned to invasive species overgrowth throughout much of the 20th century before its reclamation by the Friends of Lewis Park beginning in 2007. Today, the park offers unique community spaces and plantings of native species meant to reinvigorate the park's natural ecosystems and improve its landscape.

Native trees, shrubs, and ground cover now populate the park area, thanks to the work of weekly volunteer work parties beginning in 2007.
