La Roca Tarpeya era una abrupta pendiente de la antigua Roma, junto a la cima sur de la colina Capitolina. Tenía vistas al antiguo foro romano. Durante la República, se utilizó como lugar de ejecución de asesinos y traidores, que eran lanzados desde ella. Tenía una altura de unos 25 metros .
Hay una expresión latina que dice Arx tarpeia Capitoli proxima que algunos traducen libremente al castellano como A gran salto, gran quebranto, que significa que quien consigue de improviso una posición elevada social o profesionalmente está muy expuesto a perderla de manera brusca.
