Parkland is an informal geographic region of the Canadian province of Manitoba, located between Lakes Manitoba and Winnipegosis on the east and the Manitoba–Saskatchewan border on the west.

The largest population centre is the city of Dauphin, and the second largest is the town of Swan River. Riding Mountain National Park, Duck Mountain Provincial Park, and Asessippi Provincial Park are also located in the region, as well as Manitoba's highest point, Baldy Mountain.

Together with the Westman Region to the south, Parkland composes the broader Prairie Mountain region,[2] and is provided health services via Prairie Mountain Health.[3] As of 2021, the Parkland region had a population of 41,575.
