Moor Park is a London Underground station in the Three Rivers district of Hertfordshire.

It is at the junction of the Amersham and Watford branches of London Underground's Metropolitan Line.

Moor Park station is located between Rickmansworth (towards Amersham), Croxley (towards Watford) and Northwood (towards central London) stations.

The station is outside the Greater London boundary and for the purposes of fare charging is in both Zone 6 and Zone A. It lies between Sandy Lodge Golf Course and Moor Park. The station has four platforms, two for the Watford service and two for the Amersham service .Despite sharing the track with the Amersham branch, therefore running on the platform, Chiltern Railways trains don't stop there, they stop at the next station on the Amersham branch, Rickmansworth
