Gum Tree Gully Conservation Park is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia located in the locality of Hindmarsh Tiers about 55 kilometres (34 mi) south of the state capital of Adelaide and about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south-east of Myponga.[1]

The conservation park consists of the following land in the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Encounter Bay – Allotment 31 of Deposited Plan 79974.[3] The name was approved by the Surveyor General of South Australia on 18 August 2009 and is derived from a gully called Gum Tree Gully whose extent includes the conservation park.[1][5] As of 2018, it covered an area of 1.11 square kilometres (0.43 sq mi).[4]

Gum Tree Gully Conservation Park is reported as being one of the “new reserves” created as a “direct initiative” of the recovery plan for the Mount Lofty Ranges southern emu-wren (Stipiturus malachurus intermedius) which is a bird species listed as endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.[6][7]

The conservation park is categorised as an IUCN Category III protected area[2]
