Rotwildpark bei Stuttgart is a nature reserve in western Stuttgart, also known as the Rot- und Schwarzwildpark. Its forests cover most of the 830-hectare reserve. Three artificial lakes, a forest trail, and wildlife enclosures shape this green setting.

King Friedrich I established the area in 1815, stocking it with 568 red deer and 138 fallow deer. Citizens once paid to use designated paths. After the November Revolution in 1918, those access restrictions ended, opening the park beyond its former route system. Officials recorded the reserve in the Reichsnaturschutzbuch in 1939. In 1958, its boundaries expanded through parts of the Schwarzwildpark and Pfaffenwald.

Ancient trees include rare service trees and wild service trees, with some specimens reaching 400 years. Seven woodpecker species inhabit this woodland. Three artificial lakes, the Roman House, and Bärenschlössle provide distinct landmarks, while the rebuilt building has housed a restaurant since 1997. The enclosure features red and black deer.
