Yellow Rock is a small village in New South Wales, Australia. Yellow Rock is located 78 kilometres north-west of Sydney, in the Local Government Area of the City of Blue Mountains.
Yellow Rock is situated on the eastern, lower slopes of the Blue Mountains and the western side of the Nepean River extending back some way from it, the elevation rising from the river. It is surrounded by the suburbs of Mount Riverview, Warrimoo and Springwood to the south, Winmalee to the west, Hawkesbury Heights and Yarramundi to the north and northeast respectively, and Castlereagh across the Nepean to the east.
It includes much of the Yellomundee Regional Park, which has bike and walking tracks and stretches north-south on the west side of the river, and the Yellow Rock lookout at the end of Yellow Rock Road. Frasers Creek flows in a west-northeast direction in the north part of the suburb, passing north of the lookout through the park to the river. The northern border of the suburb is a creek, opposite of which is the Hawkesbury Ridge. Yellow Rock has a Rural Fire Service station and Greek Orthodox monastery.
