Castor Rock is a sea stack off Chinstrap Point, rising to 108 feet above sea-level about 100 feet off the south end of Vindication Island, one of the South Sandwich Islands, in South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.

This feature and Pollux Rock to the south-east were charted by Discovery Investigations in 1930 and named collectively Castor and Pollux after the Heavenly Twins of Greek mythology.
