The People's Garden (in Hungarian: Népkert) is a park in Miskolc, Hungary. With an area of 56.921 m², it is the third largest park of Miskolc (after Tapolca-Hejőliget and Csanyik, but since those are in the outer districts, Népkert is the largest park in the city proper. There are many sports facilities in the park.

The park was fashioned in the 1870s. At that time it was on the edge of the city; after a few decades the area had become a villa district (several beautiful villas stand there today), and after Miskolc began to grow after World War II, the park became part of today's downtown.
