Kintore Caves Conservation Reserve is a conservation reserve in the Northern Territory of Australia.
It is located approximately approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi) west of Katherine and 330 kilometres (205 mi) south east of Darwin.
The area is made up of karst limestone and has an extensive network of caves that contain rare fauna and evidence of a long history of human occupation. The park shares a boundary to the north with the Northern Territory Rural College and to the south with private property zoned for rural use.[2]
