Roque de Garachico is a small volcanic rocky island 300 meters off the coast of the town of Garachico in Tenerife. It belongs to the urban area of Garachico and is a symbol of the city. The island, which is up to 77 meters high, rises steeply out of the sea, with some almost vertical rock walls.

The rock was separated from Tenerife by coastal erosion and is a refuge for seabirds. It is protected as a natural monument.
