Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint, Coastal state park in Bandon, Oregon.

Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint is a 15-acre (6 ha) Oregon state park at Bandon where a rock island offshore has the likeness of a human face. The park holds picnic tables, restrooms, a viewing scope, and a stairway and trail down to the beach; the rocks and tidal flats beside it belong to the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge.

The state assembled the 15-acre (6 ha) park, first called Bandon Ocean Wayside, from land given in 1934 and acreage bought in 1961. The offshore rocks and tidal flats belong to the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge.

The name comes from an offshore rock island whose outline resembles a human face; the sources link it to a Native American legend without naming a tribe. The park was first called Bandon Ocean Wayside. The Chinese-language source notes that Face Rock is one of the examples of pareidolia cited on Wikipedia, and that the surrounding reef group includes rocks nicknamed Wizard's Hat, Cat and Kittens, Table and Five Foot.

Access to the beach and rock formations is via maintained stairs and trail systems winding through the park with multiple viewpoints to stop at. The site has restrooms, picnic areas, and informational signs explaining the landscape and local geology.

The rocks and tidal flats beside the park belong to the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge, and more than 300 bird species frequent the area. Coquille Point, just north of Face Rock, is the refuge's only mainland portion, with its own parking area, benches and hiking trail.
