Scratch My Arse Rock is an islet with an underlying coral reef off the coast of Palmerston Island, an atoll of the Cook Islands archipelago. Known locally as Roche Gratte Fesse, its more widespread English name is reputedly owed to the 19th-century English adventurer William Marsters, who named it after scratching his anus while at the location. The rock is a popular fishing spot, and the surrounding waters are noted for an abundance of parrotfish.
