Brigadier Ronald Stuart Park CB CBE (18 February 1895 – 15 August 1980) was a New Zealand military leader who served in the First and Second World Wars as well as the Korean War.

Born in Dunedin, Park joined the New Zealand Military Forces in 1914. During the First World War he served initially as an instructor at Featherston Military Camp before proceeding to England as a reinforcement for the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. He served on the Western Front as an artillery officer. In peacetime he held a series of command and administrative posts, including a brief period as commander of the Royal New Zealand Artillery. During the Second World War, he was based in England as commander of the United Kingdom Section of the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force. He also represented New Zealand on military planning committees. After the war, he commanded the Northern Military District in New Zealand. He retired in July 1950 but was almost immediately recalled to duty as commander of Kayforce, the ground force component of New Zealand's contribution to the United Nations Command. He led Kayforce for nearly three years until November 1953 when he returned to New Zealand and civilian life. He died in 1980, aged 85.
