Le rocher du Fastnet est une petite île située au sud de l'Irlande et composée d’argile et d’ardoise avec des veines de quartz. C’est le point le plus méridional de la République d'Irlande.

Le rocher est occupé par un phare du même nom, le Fastnet.Sa construction a commencé en 1853 sous la direction de Robert Mallet. Sa première lumière a été émise le 1er janvier 1854. Il remplaçait alors le vieux phare de l’île de Clear.
