Vingtaine de la Rocque is one of the four vingtaines of Grouville Parish on the Channel Island of Jersey.
The Jersey Eastern Railway opened a station, at La Rocque, on 7 August 1873. The station was subsequently closed on 21 June 1929, and the station no longer exists.
La Rocque harbour lies within the vingtaine.
Waders and seabirds make regular use of the exposed shoreline and nearby fields for feeding.
