Noosa Biosphere Reserve is an internationally protected area covering the region of Noosa in Queensland, Australia. It is formally recognised as a Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) and Man and the Biosphere (MAB) program for its highly diverse ecosystem over a relatively small space. It was the first Biosphere Reserve for the state of Queensland, established in September 2007. The reserve is bound by the former Noosa Shire Council boundaries, extending offshore by , covering in total.〔Noosa Biosphere Limited. 2009. Noosa biosphere reserve management plan.

Noosa Biosphere Reserve is located in the Macpherson-Macleay overlap, where tropical and temperate zones overlap.〔Burbidge, N. T. 1960. The phytogeography of the Australian region. Australian Journal of Botany 8: 75–211.〕 The landscape has an extensive composition of rainforests, beaches, woodlands, wetlands, lakes, rivers, forests, and mountains. The Noosa region provides an extremely accommodating landscape for both flora and fauna due to its location in the intersection of the Torresian and Bassian biogeographic regions.〔Schodde, R., and Calaby, J. H. (1972). The biogeography of the australo-papuan bird and mammal faunas in relation to Torres Strait. Pages 257-300 in D. Walker, editor. Bridge and barrier: the natural and cultural history of the Torres Strait. Ed. Australian National History Press, Canberra.〕 It is a major centre of species richness and endemism,〔Crisp, M. D., Laffan, S., Linder, H. P., and A. Monro. 2001. Endemism in the australian flora. Journal of Biogeography 28: 183-198.〕 supporting speciation and biodiversity.〔Low, T. 2011.
