"Rocks and Shoals" is the 123rd episode of the syndicated American science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the second episode of the sixth season's opening six-episode story arc, beginning shortly after the events of the previous episode.

Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the crew of the Starfleet-managed Bajoran space station Deep Space Nine. As with the other five episodes of the opening arc, this episode's story alternates between the events on the recaptured Terok Nor and the Federation's attempts to fight the Dominion.

Captain Sisko and his crew's captured Jem'Hadar ship crash onto a barren planet hidden inside a nebula, landing in a small sea. The senior officers and a handful of crew members survive and seek shelter in a cave, although Lieutenant Commander Dax is severely injured. Unbeknownst to the survivors, a crew of Jem'Hadar and their Vorta, Keevan, have also survived a recent crash landing on the planet and similarly taken up shelter in a cave. The Jem'Hadar first and second are dead, but Keevan has not promoted Third Remata'Klan to the rank of first because Remata'Klan at some point questioned Keevan's orders. Keevan, seriously injured, strictly rations the Ketracel White, to the dismay of the Jem'Hadar.
