The Blackwattle Bay ferry service, officially known as F10 Blackwattle Bay, is a commuter ferry service in Sydney, New South Wales. Part of the Sydney Ferries network, it is operated by Transdev Sydney Ferries. The service shuttles between Barangaroo and Blackwattle Bay, taking 13 minutes.

The service was initially introduced on 14 October 2019, as an on-demand service between four wharves, but was closed as a results of the COVID-19 pandemic.^[1]^[2]^[3] However it was reintroduced in November 2021 as a timetabled service while the Inner West Light Rail was closed.^[4] In December 2022, the service was made permanent.^[5]

As of early 2024, the service is still not part of the Opal network, and instead must be paid for on board using credit or debit card.^[6]

Elizabeth Macarthur Bay public pontoon in Pirrama Park at the north end of Pyrmont is being added as a stop in early 2025.
