The Pico Formation is a Pliocene epoch stratigraphic unit and geologic formation in the greater Los Angeles Basin, the Santa Monica Mountains, and the Santa Susana Mountains, in Los Angeles County of Southern California.

Some literature considers the Pico Formation and the adjacent, older Repetto Formation to be a single formation called the Fernando Formation.
