The Forest of Rambouillet (also known as the Forest of Yvelines) is a large forest covering some 200 km², located in France. The town of Rambouillet takes its name from the forest.

The Château de Rambouillet is located on the edge of the forest.

On December 26, 1999, a hurricane hit the northern half of France, wreaking havoc to forests, parks and buildings. The Forest of Rambouillet lost hundreds of thousands of trees, and among the over five thousand downed trees in the park of Rambouillet, was the handsome Allée de Cyprès chauves de Louisiane, the bald cypress avenue planted in 1810.
