The '''Sarphatipark''' ({{IPA|nl|sɑrˈfaːtiˌpɑr(ə)k}}) is a public [[urban park]] located in the ''[[stadsdeel]]'' [[Amsterdam Oud-Zuid]] in [[Amsterdam]], [[Netherlands]]. The park is named after [[Samuel Sarphati]].<ref>{{in lang|nl}} [http://www.amsterdam.nl/algemene_onderdelen/indexen/typisch_amsterdams/typisch_amsterdams?ActItmIdt=3834 Het Sarphatipark]{{dead link|date=May 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}.

In 1942, the park was renamed "Bollandpark" after [[Gerardus Johannes Petrus Josephus Bolland|G.J.P.J. Bolland]], because Samuel Sarphati was a Jew. The old name was restored after the war in 1945.<ref>{{in lang|nl}} [http://www.verzetsmuseum.org/tweede-wereldoorlog/nl/achtergrond/achtergrond,amsterdam/straatnamen Amsterdam, straatnamen 1940-1945] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121129130817/http://www.verzetsmuseum.org/tweede-wereldoorlog/nl/achtergrond/achtergrond,amsterdam/straatnamen |date=2012-11-29 }}.

The Dutch painter [[Mommie Schwarz]] and his wife [[Else Berg]] lived adjacent to the park from 1927 until their deportation to, and execution at, the [[Auschwitz concentration camp]] in 1942.  Some of their last works were landscape paintings of the park.
