Machesney Park is a village located in Winnebago County, Illinois, United States.

Machesney Park is part of the Rockford, Illinois Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Machesney Field was used by the Army Air Corps during World War II as a stop by fighter aircraft being ferried to the Soviet Union.

This area of unincorporated Winnebago county saw growth pick up after World War II.

This led to the formation of North Park, a public water district and volunteer firefighting company, and the unofficial name for the area.

RMTD provides bus service on Routes 20 and 22 connecting Machesney Park to destinations throughout the Rockford area.
