Eaglehawk Neck est un isthme australien reliant les péninsules dites presqu'île Forestier et presqu'île Tasman en Tasmanie, une île de l'océan Pacifique. Il fut découvert par Pierre Faure durant l'expédition vers les Terres australes emmenée par le Français Nicolas Baudin[1].

La formation rocheuse en chaussée en mosaïque (anglais : Tessellated Pavement) a l'apparence d'une construction humaine, mais est en fait due aux forces de l'érosion naturelle.
