Eddystone Rock (Spanish: Roca Remolinos, meaning "Eddies Rock") is a rock and reef located to the north of Falkland Sound in the Falkland Islands. It is 44 m (144 ft) high. There is a lighthouse here, and it is named after a more famous one of the same name in England.

Lieut. Lowcay during his 1837 survey of the Falkland Islands notes in his journal -

Sunday, 10 Dec ... At 8 a.m. observed the Eddystone; this remarkable rock lies off the entrance of Falkland Sound and making it from the eastward it has the appearance of a round island, and from the westward it looks like a sail.
