Red Rock is a township in Northwestern Ontario, Canada, located in the Thunder Bay District. The community of Red Rock is at the mouth of the Nipigon River where it drains into Nipigon Bay on the north shore of Lake Superior. The population as of 2011 is 942.

During the Second World War, a prisoner of war camp was established here housing primarily German prisoners. Many men returned to work in the mill or surrounding woods after the war.
