De Giant's Causeway is een rotsformatie aan de noordoostkust van Noord-Ierland (Bushmills), die bestaat uit zo'n 40.000 basaltzuilen. De formatie staat sinds 1986 op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO. De rotsen zouden zijn ontstaan bij een vulkaanuitbarsting, zo'n 60 miljoen jaar geleden. De locatie is de meest bezochte toeristische attractie van Noord-Ierland.
