Malgra Conservation Park is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia located on the Eyre Peninsula in the gazetted locality of Kelly about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south-east of Kimba.[3][4]

The conservation park was proclaimed on 11 November 2010 under the state’s National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 in respect to land previously dedicated as a conservation reserve known as the Malgra Conservation Reserve on 20 October 1988. The conservation park was constituted to permit access under the state’s Mining Act 1971.[4][5][6]

As of 2014, it and three adjacent conservation parks were described by their managing authority as follows:[4]

These parks (sic) are dominated by relatively undisturbed mallee forest, and woodland associations with a Melaleuca shrub understorey. They provide important habitat for Malleefowl populations and contain significant species including Gilbert’s Whistler, Bentham’s Goodenia and the Six-nerve Spine-bush which are listed as rare under the National Parks and Wildlife Act.

The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category VI protected area.[2]
