Fish Canyon Falls is a tiered waterfall in Los Angeles County, California, located within the Angeles National Forest in the San Gabriel Mountains. The falls are located about 2 miles (3.2 km) northwest of Azusa on the Fish Canyon Creek.

The falls drops a total of 80 feet (24 m) in four tiers. Unlike many seasonal waterfalls in Southern California, it has a fairly reliable flow year round, due to springs located further up the canyon. However, it can still dry up during the late summers of dry years.

A 4.8 miles (7.7 km) round trip hike provides access to the falls. Prior to 2014, the falls were very difficult to reach due to the private Vulcan Materials quarry in the mouth of Fish Canyon, which required a long and exposed bypass hike over the neighboring ridge. In the summer of 2014 a new trail opened through the quarry allowing hikers a much easier path to the falls.
