Kowloon Rock (Chinese: 九龍石) is an island in the middle of Kowloon Bay in Hong Kong, near the runway of the former Kai Tak Airport.[1] Administratively, it is part of Kowloon City District.

The island is three metres by two.[1] The rock has no vegetation, as it is a rock. An isolated danger daymark is installed to alert passing vessels.

The island is now sheltered in the To Kwa Wan typhoon shelter by a dyke across the bay.
