Snow Canyon State Park is a State Park in Washington County, southwestern Utah, United States. Within the state park boundaries lies a canyon carved from the red and white Navajo sandstone the Red Mountains near Ivins, Utah. Other geological features of the state park include extinct cinder cones, lava tubes, lava flows, and sand dunes.

Two canyons, West Canyon and Snow Canyon, begin side-by-side at the north gouging deeply into the sandstone of the Red Mountains, each canyon then running southward, slowly converging then finally meeting in the middle of the park. From there Snow Canyon continues south-by-southeastward as a single, larger canyon. Near the park's southern entrance, the canyon ends, its mouth opening out onto the Santa Clara bench near Ivins, Utah.

Immediately west of the park's southern entrance, in Padre Canyon, a smaller canyon paralleling Snow Canyon, is the Tuacahn Amphitheater, home of the Tuacahn Summer Festival of Theater.
