优胜美地国家公园 (Yosemite National Park),中国大陆译作约塞米蒂国家公园,其它译名还有优山美地国家公园、约瑟米提国家公园等,是美国西部最美丽、参观人数最多的国家公园之一,与大峡谷国家公园、黄石国家公园齐名,位于加利福尼亚州东部内华达山脉(Sierra Nevada,西班牙语:下雪的山)上。
Yosemite National Park embraces a spectacular tract of mountain-and-valley scenery in the Sierra Nevada, which was set aside as a national park in 1890. The park harbors a grand collection of waterfalls, meadows, and forests that include groves of giant sequoias, the world's largest living things. Highlights of the park include Yosemite Valley, and its high cliffs and waterfalls; Wawona's history center and historic hotel; the Mariposa Grove, which contains hundreds of ancient giant sequoias; Glacier Point's (summer-fall) spectacular view of Yosemite Valley and the high country; Tuolumne Meadows (summer-fall), a large subalpine meadow surrounded by mountain peaks; and Hetch Hetchy, a reservoir in a valley considered a twin of Yosemite Valley.
