Guy Brasfield Park (June 10, 1872– October 1, 1946) was a politician from the U.S. State of Missouri.

Park was born in Platte City, Missouri and he graduated from law school at the University of Missouri^{[citation needed]}. Park practiced law in Platte City, twice winning election to be the prosecuting attorney for Platte County^{[citation needed]}. Park was elected as a judge for Missouri's fifth judicial circuit court in 1922 and re-elected in 1928^{[citation needed]}.

In 1932, Park was selected by the Missouri Democratic Party as a candidate for Governor of Missouri after candidate Francis Wilson died in October 1932^{[citation needed]}. Park resigned from his judicial position and defeated Edward Winter by over 300,000 votes^{[citation needed]}.

Park was backed by Kansas City boss Tom Pendergast^{[citation needed]}, and some feel that Park allowed Pendergast to run the state of Missouri^{[citation needed]}.

Park was not eligible to seek re-election in 1936 and he retired to Platte City^{[citation needed]}.
