Tiszakürti Arborétum is a 60-hectare arboretum and nationally protected natural area in Tiszakürt, Hungary, located in the Tiszazug region along the Tisza River and belonging to the Hortobágy National Park Directorate.

Its history began in the mid-19th century when the Bolza noble family transformed a 17-hectare floodplain forest into a carefully maintained park originally designed as a castle garden, and after significant damage during World War II, a 1961 decision officially developed it into an arborétum by adding 400 new tree and shrub species to the 100 surviving ones.

Since 2001, it has been protected as a natural area of national importance, and today it houses over 1,000 plant species, making it one of Hungary’s largest arborétums. Visitors can explore botanical curiosities from European and distant regions along comfortable walking paths, admire beautiful sculptures including a nearly 6-meter-tall work by Vas Csaba depicting the nymph Niké, and learn about the park’s history in the screening room.
