Channel Rock (Template:Zh) was a big rock in the midst of Kowloon Bay,[1] in the east Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong, opposite Kwun Tong Ferry Pier. It was incorporated into the extension of the runway of Kai Tak Airport. A navigation light[2][3] was built on the rock in 1921, but was demolished with the extension of the Kai Tak runway.

A 1977 survey of molluscs identified at Channel Rock included Siphonaria corallina, Patelloida toloensis, and Collisella cellanica.[4]
