The Warrnambool Breakwater Pier is one of the tourist attractions of Warrnambool, a town on the south coast of Australia. The 315m long Breakwater Pier was designed by Sir John Coode, a British engineer, and built in 1890. At that time was one of the largest structures in Victoria. It has protected the harbour and port of Warrnambool for over 100 years. Today it is popular with visitors who come to walk along the length of it and admire the panoramic ocean views.

Warrnambool has a long association with the sea and the breakwater is a popular fishing spot. Just off shore from the Breakwater is the Labella shipwreck, a popular diving site. The whole coastline here has numerous shipwrecks, one of the most famous being the wreck of the Loch Ard sea clipper at Loch Ard Gorge on the Great Ocean Road. The history of the area is displayed in the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum.

Other tourist attractions nearby include the Tower Hill Park volcano. The area is also popular for whale watching and there are numerous local coastal walks around Pickering Point, Thunder Point and Point Ritchie, as well as around the mouths of the Merri and Hopkins rivers.

Warnambool is on the A1 near to Port Fairy and close to the beginning of the western end of the Great Ocean Road. Warnambool is about 260km west of Melbourne, and 650km east of Adelaide.
