Queensland is the second-largest state in Australia. As at 2020, it contained more than 1,000 protected areas. In August 2023, it was estimated a total of 14.5 million hectares or 8.38% of Queensland's landmass was protected.

In 2026, several changes were made to Queensland’s national park system. Keatings Lagoon Conservation Park was redesignated as Keatings Lagoon National Park, while Mount Cook National Park became Waymbuurr (Mount Cook) National Park (CYPAL). Waalmbaal Birri (Endeavour River) National Park (CYPAL) was established, with the remaining Endeavour River National Park substantially reduced in area. Later in the year, Miara National Park was also established. The changes since August 2023 have added at least about 400,000 hectares (4,000 km²), bring the total protected landmass to 14.9 million hectares or 8.61% of Queensland.
