St. Roch is a fictional city, patterned after New Orleans, Louisiana, that has appeared in various comic book series published by DC Comics. Its most prominent appearances came in the series "Hawkman". In that series it was featured as the home of Hawkman and his partner Hawkgirl.

Chronologically within DC's main shared universe, the DC Universe, it has existed since the founding of Louisiana and has played home to many other characters in DC's history, though most of these characters were previous lives of Hawkman and Hawkgirl.

There is in fact a small neighborhood and an avenue in the Eighth Ward section of New Orleans called St. Roch.

Geographical details and landmarks

The city has been described as being part of Orleans Parish, thus establishing that in the DC Universe that parish is divided between St. Roch and New Orleans.

Notable facilities in St. Roch include Stonechat House, the museum run by Carter Hall (Hawkman) that houses memorabilia from all his lives.
