The Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park covers about 35 acres (0.14 km²) and includes several sites in Atlanta, Georgia related to the life and work of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. Within the park is his boyhood home, and Ebenezer Baptist Church — the church where King was baptized and both he and his father, Martin Luther King Sr., were pastors — as well as, the grave site of King, Jr., and his wife, civil rights activist Coretta Scott King.

The park is administered by the National Park Service and has a visitor's center and museum.
