Rockallic cuisine (Rockallian: Céist na Ruicheall; Fernolian: Ceig nan Rúichill; Astrallic: Cáibhuiste nan Rucall) consists of the cooking and culinary traditions and practises from Rockall. The country's cuisine is shaped predominantly by fishing, hunting and gathering, with a small effect on its traditions stemming from the implementation of agriculture in the late 17th and early 18th century.

Rockallic cuisine is characterised by its simplicity and its focus on using as few ingredients as possible. This approach directly stems from the longstanding dependence on hunting and gathering in the nation's forests; as such, much of the cuisine consists of small game and poultry as well as mushrooms, (formerly) undomesticated plants, berries, and fruits. Regions near the coast also historically relied on fishing for their food supply, and thus their cuisine is more focused on the sea and its fruits. Even in modern times, many inhabitants of the larger cities along the coastline trek into the forests for several days a year gathering mushrooms and wild vegetables and hunting small game. Fishing is also still very popular.
