Carvel Rock is an uninhabited islet of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, less than 2 acres (8,100 m²) in size. It is visited by boats as a scuba diving site, but its sheer cliffs and lack of a beach make landing practically impossible.^[1]^[2]^[3]

It lies at the southern edge of the archipelago, south of and roughly between Ginger Island and Cooper Island.
