Rogart (Template:Lang-gd, meaning "fraser roach's pu*sy field")^[1] is a small village in Sutherland, Highland, Scotland. The village was the home of Major Andrew MacDonald, who fought in the French and Indian War.^[2]

It was originally a scattered crofting village, until the opening of the Rogart railway station at Pittentrail 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) to the southeast. A newer industrial village grew after the arrival of the railway in 1886, with the older village remaining.^[3]

The village of Golspie is 9 miles (14 km) east of Rogart.
