Moor Park is a London Underground station in the Three Rivers district of Hertfordshire.

It is at the junction of the Amersham and Watford branches of London Underground's Metropolitan Line.

Moor Park station is located between Rickmansworth (towards Amersham), Croxley (towards Watford) and Northwood (towards central London) stations.

The station is outside the Greater London boundary yet for fares is in both Zone 6 and Zone 7, previously in zones 6 & A. It lies between Sandy Lodge Golf Course and Moor Park. The station has four platforms, two for northbound trains (one for the Watford service and one for the Amersham service) and two for southbound trains to Baker Street (one for the slow trains and one for fast - although southbound services vary in the morning peak). Despite sharing the track with the Amersham trains, Chiltern Railways trains ceased calling here in the mid 1990s. Instead, they call at the next station on the Amersham branch, Rickmansworth.
