Eagle Rock is a community located in northeast Los Angeles situated between the city of Glendale and the city of Pasadena. Eagle Rock is in Los Angeles County just east of the San Fernando Valley, adjacent to the San Rafael Hills. Eagle Rock was incorporated in 1911 as Eagle Rock City but was merged into the City of Los Angeles in 1923.

A massive boulder located at the north end of Eagle Rock contains a feature that casts a bird-shaped shadow on the huge rock at certain times of the day giving the community its name. The boulder is located just north of the Ventura 134 Freeway.

The community of Eagle Rock has nine Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments and numerous historic and architecturally significant homes including Craftsmen, Streamline Modema, Art Deco, Georgian, and Mission Revival Style homes.

Parks include the Eagle Rock Recreation Center, Eagle Rock Hillside Park, and Yosemite Recreation Center.

Eagle Rock is home to the 120-acre Occidental College which was established in 1887.
