We present numerical evidence that the techniques of conformal field theory might be applicable to two-dimensional Ising spin glasses with Gaussian bond distributions. It is shown that certain domain wall distributions in one geometry can be related to that in a second geometry by a conformal transformation. We also present direct evidence that the domain walls are stochastic Loewner (SLE) processes with $\kappa \approx 2.1$. An argument is given that their fractal dimension $d_f$ is related to their interface energy exponent $\theta$ by $d_f-1=3/[4(3+\theta)]$, which is consistent with the commonly quoted values $d_f \approx 1.27$ and $\theta \approx -0.28$.
