Fish Rock (formerly, Fishrock and Conways Landing) was a historical unincorporated community in Mendocino County, California. It was located {{convert|4|mi|km}} northwest of Gualala,{{California's Geographic Names|60}} at an elevation of 171 feet (52 m).

The Conways Landing post office opened in 1870, changed its name to Fish Rock in 1871, closed in 1873, re-opened in 1885, moved in 1908, and closed for good in 1910.

Fish Rock had a lumber chute used to load timber onto schooners. By 1938 the town was largely abandoned.{{cite news |last=Verran |first=Julie |date=23 Apr 2004 |title=Mystery watercolors show life in the vanished town of Fish Rock |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/541319972/?terms=%22fish+rock%22&match=1 |work=Independent Coast Observer |location=Gualala, CA |access-date=15 Dec 2023}} The beach at Fish Rock was used for filming of the Island of the Blue Dolphins.{{cite news |last=Torres |first=David |date=26 Nov 2010 |title=Granddaughter recalls early days at Fish Rock Ranch |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/541339428/ |work=Independent Coast Observer |location=Gualala, CA |access-date=15 Dec 2023}}
