'''Deepar Beel Wildlife Sanctuary''' is a protected area in [[Assam]], [[India]]. It is located to the south-west of [[Guwahati]], covering an area of about 4.14&nbsp;km². The sanctuary was notified in 1989 to protect the unique wetland ecosystem of [[Deepor Beel]], a permanent freshwater lake and [[Ramsar site]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2021-08-27 |title=Assam's Deepar Beel Wildlife Sanctuary breathes easy after eco-sensitive zone notification |url=https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/energy-and-environment/assams-deepar-beel-wildlife-sanctuary-breathes-easy-after-eco-sensitive-zone-notification/article36133229.ece |access-date=2025-08-30 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref><br />

The lake and sanctuary are important habitats for many resident and migratory bird species, including globally threatened species such as the [[spot-billed pelican]] and [[greater adjutant]]. It also supports fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals, and plays a key role in maintaining the ecological balance of the [[Brahmaputra River]] floodplains.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wildlife Sanctuary {{!}} Principal Chief Conservator of Forest & Head of Forest Force {{!}} Government Of Assam, India |url=https://forest.assam.gov.in/portlets/wildlife-sanctuary |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250321001423/https://forest.assam.gov.in/portlets/wildlife-sanctuary |archive-date=21 March 2025 |access-date=2025-08-30 |website=forest.assam.gov.in |url-status=live }}</ref><br />
