Rock Olmen is een pop- en rockfestival in het Belgische dorp Olmen dat jaarlijks georganiseerd wordt in het laatste weekend van Juli. Het middelgrote festival ontvangt gemiddeld 3000 bezoekers per dag. De eerste editie vond plaats in 1990 onder de naam Mini-Rock.[1] In 2006 is de naam veranderd naar Rock Olmen. Het festival richt zich voornamelijk op Belgische artiesten binnen de rockscene, al passeren er ook bands uit de rest van Europa. In 2019 werd het festival voor het eerst volledig uitverkocht.[2]
