"Hard as a Rock" is a song by the Australian hard rock band AC/DC that the group released in September 1995, through Elektra Records, as the first single from its thirteenth studio album. Titled Ballbreaker, that parent album also came out in September 1995. The song became AC/DC's second number one hit on the Album Rock Tracks chart published by Billboard inside of the United States, with that achievement having followed after 1993's "Big Gun".
Performances of the track have been included on three of AC/DC's live concert DVDs. These include No Bull (of which an audio version is found on the Australian tour edition of Stiff Upper Lip), Stiff Upper Lip Live and Live at the Circus Krone, which is featured in the Deluxe Edition of the 2009 boxset Backtracks. A live version recorded during the band's Stiff Upper Lip World Tour in 2001 at the Stade de France in Paris appears on the 2007 Plug Me In three-disc DVD. It is also featured on the 2012 film Battleship, along with "Thunderstruck".
