Mu Ko Ang Thong is a marine national park in the Gulf of Thailand, on the shores of the Surat Thani Province. It covers 42 islands in a total area of 102 km², of which only 18 km² are land. The park was established on 12 November 1980. The northern tip of Ko Phaluai is also part of the marine park. There are Ranger Stations, Bungalows, Shop and a Restaurant at Ao Phi beach on Ko Wua Talap.
The name "Ang Thong" means "bowl of gold". "Mu Ko" simply means "group of islands".
Since 2002 the park has been registered as Ramsar site number 1184.
