North Park Furnace is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of an iron foundry and gun-casting works located in Sussex, England. The site dates to the post-medieval period, when Sussex's wealden iron industry was at its height, and represents an important example of early modern industrial archaeology. The furnace complex would have been integral to regional metalworking production, particularly during periods when demand for cast-iron goods and military ordnance was high. The surviving structural remains and archaeological deposits at the site provide evidence of the technological and organisational practices employed in early modern iron manufacture.
