Round Rock is an uninhabited island in the British Virgin Islands, to the south of Virgin Gorda, east of Ginger Island ^[1] and close to Fallen Jerusalem Island.

The island provides habitat for the crested anole (Anolis cristatellus wileyae), ^[2] the common Puerto Rican ameiva (Pholidoscelis exsul exsul), the Lesser Virgin Islands Skink (Spondylurus semitaeniatus), ^[3] and the big-scaled least gecko (Sphaerodactylus macrolepis). ^[4]
