Gregory's Tree Historical Reserve is a protected area in the Northern Territory of Australia and it is situated within the Judbarra / Gregory National Park and is 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) north-west of Timber Creek and on the Victoria Highway and is a registered heritage site.[1][2] The reserve is a small one consisting of 2 hectares (4.9 acres).[3]

Gregory's tree itself is a boab tree (Adansonia gregorii) which is sacred to the Ngarinman people; for this reason it is also registered as a sacred site.[1][4][5]

A permanent declaration placing it on the Northern Territory Heritage Register made on 1 March 1995.[6]
