Elwha Rock is a submerged rock in Puget Sound. It lies in Harney Channel just west of Orcas Island's Grindstone Harbor at a depth of {{convert|5|ft|m}} mean low water.[1]

It was named for the ferry {{MV|Elwha}} which ran aground on the then-uncharted rock in 1983.[2] The ferry Nisqually ran aground on the same rock in 1994.

The Washington Board on Geographic Names approved the name in December 1989.[3]

The rock was incorporated within San Juan Islands National Monument in 2013.
