Sofiyivsky Park (Ukrainian: Софіївський парк; Polish: Zofiówka) is a landscape park in Uman, Cherkasy Oblast of central Ukraine. It was founded in 1796 by Count Stanislaw Szczesny Potocki, a noble Polish szlachcic. The park is named after his wife Sofia. There are many scenic areas in the park including waterfalls, fountains, ponds and a stone garden. It is one of the most famous examples of late 17th or early 18th century European landscape garden design that has been preserved to the present time.

The Sofiyivsky Park was named one of the Seven Wonders of Ukraine on August 21, 2007, based off a voting by experts and the internet community.
