The Abri du Poisson is an ornate rock shelter located in France, in the valley of Gorge d'Enfer, on the right bank of the Vézère, in Les Eyzies-de-Tayac, Dordogne. It presents on its ceiling a fish of the Gravettian carved in bas-relief which makes its fame.
It is one of fifteen "prehistoric sites and decorated caves of the Vézère Valley" listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.
