The Fernando Formation is a Plio-Pleistocene marine mudstone, siltstone and sandstone formation in the greater Los Angeles Basin, Ventura Basin, and Santa Monica Mountains, in Los Angeles County of Southern California.

Some literature recognizes two separate formations in place of the Fernando Formation: the older Repetto Formation and younger Pico Formation.
