Overfelt Gardens is a 33 acre park in San Jose, California, USA.

The land for the park was donated by Mildred Overfelt in 1959, in memory of her parents, William and Mary Overfelt, early San Jose pioneers that started grain and dairy farm in the 1860s.

Early features added to the park include picnic areas, restrooms, a fountain dedicated to Mildred, and a "fragrence garden" comprised of many aromatic plants. Later paths were added around the rest of the park and its three lakes, with a section designated as a California Native Plant & Wildlife Sanctuary.

The southeast section of the park includes the Chinese Cultural Garden, commemorating Sun Yat-Sen, Chiang Kai-shek, Confucius, and Chinese culture in general, including a large black stone, mined and shipped from the Republic of China.
