Wandering Rocks is a minimalist sculpture created by Tony Smith in 1964.^[1] It is installed at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C.

The piece is composed of 5 pieces. While these "rocks" are individual elements they were conceived as a single artwork without fixed spatial relationships to each other.^[2] They have been installed in a variety of ways, each being slightly different.
