Dinton Pastures Country Park is a country park in the civil parish of St Nicholas Hurst, in the borough of Wokingham, near Reading in the English county of Berkshire.

It is 335 acres (1.36 km2) in size. The River Loddon flows through the park. The Museum of Berkshire Aviation and the headquarters of the British Entomological and Natural History Society are both located in the park.

The site is popular for a number of sports including sailing, kayaking and canoeing on black swan lake, with courses and boat hire organised by the council owned dinton activity centre, as well as angling. It offers good angling in both the River Loddon and the White Swan lake, for specimen carp and bream in particular.
