Severna Park is a census-designated place (CDP) in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, United States.

The name Severna Park is rumored to originate from a 1906 contest held by Oscar Hatton while the modern community was first becoming established.

[4] Severna Park was originally named "Boone," and was a stop along the Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad, which was converted to the B&A Rail Trail in 1990.

Severna Park is located at 39°4′56″N 76°33′56″W / 39.08222°N 76.56556°W / 39.08222; -76.56556 (39.082109, −76.565656),[5] between the eastern shore of the Severn River and northwestern shore of the Magothy River, approximately 17 miles (27 km) south of Baltimore and 39 miles (63 km) east of Washington, D.C.

It is bordered to the north by Pasadena, to the east (across the Magothy River) by Lake Shore, to the southeast by Arnold, to the southwest (across the Severn River) by Herald Harbor and Arden on the Severn, and to the west by Gambrills and Millersville.

Interstate 97 runs from Annapolis to Baltimore directly west of Severna Park, passing through Millersville.

[6] A large portion of the Baltimore & Annapolis Trail also runs through Severna Park.
