The Morning Rumble is the morning show on New Zealand rock music radio station, The Rock. It is aired on weekday mornings from 5:30am until 10:00am.

Over the years, the show has been the subject of a number of complaints upheld by the Broadcasting Standards Authority. They have also been in trouble after erecting several advertising billboards around Auckland that were deemed to be offensive.
