Rogart (/ˈroʊɡɑːrt/ ROH-gart, Scottish Gaelic: Sgìre Raoird or Raoghard, meaning "great enclosed field")^[1] is a parish in Sutherland, Highland, Scotland. The parish was the home of Major Andrew MacDonald, who fought in the French and Indian War.^[2]

It was originally a scattered crofting parish centred on the parish church of St Callan's, until the opening of the Rogart railway station at Pittentrail 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) to the southeast. The locus of the parish shifted when a new 'industrial' village grew around Pittentrail following the arrival of the railway in 1886.^[3]

The village of Golspie is 9 miles (14 km) east of Rogart whilst Lairg is 10 miles west.
