Batu berjalan[1] (juga disebut batu geser, batu berlayar, batu bergulir, dan batu bergerak) adalah bagian dari fenomena geologi di mana batu bergerak secara alami dan menorehkan jejak panjang di sepanjang dasar lembah yang mulus tanpa campur tangan hewan atau makhluk hidup apa pun. Pergerakan bebatuan terjadi ketika lapisan es besar setebal beberapa milimeter pecah pada hari-hari cerah. Lapisan es ini terbentuk dari kolam yang digenangi air selama musim dingin. Lapisan es tipis yang tadinya membeku selama musim dingin ini kemudian bergerak terdorong oleh angin, menggeser batu di atasnya dengan kecepatan hingga 5 meter per menit.
Jejak batu geser telah diamati dan dipelajari di berbagai lokasi, termasuk Playa Little Bonnie Claire, di Nevada.[2] Batu berjalan yang paling populer berada di Playa Racetrack, Taman Nasional Death Valley, California, yang dikenal dengan banyaknya jejak batu yang membentuk lintasan panjang.
