Sule Stack or Stack Skerry is an extremely remote volcanic stack in the North Atlantic off the north coast of Scotland.

Sule Stack lies 66 kilometres west of the Orkney mainland at gbmapping|HX561179. Sule Stack's sole neighbour, Sule Skerry, lies 10 km to the north west and the remote islands of Rona and Sula Sgeir lie further to the west.

Sule Stack and Sule Skerry are home to thousands of Gannets and as a result are listed as a Special Protection Area.

Sule Stack comes within the administrative region of Orkney Islands.
