Rogate is a village and civil parish in the Chichester district of West Sussex, England situated in the Western Rother valley.

The parish comprises the villages of Rogate and Rake and the hamlets of Habin, Fyning, Hill Brow, Langley, Durford, Wenham, Durleighmarsh and Terwick Common. The ancient parish of Terwick is included in Rogate and the northern part of the parish is in the ecclesiastical parish of Milland. Until the passing of the Counties (Detached Parts) Act 1844 part of Rogate was an exclave of Hampshire.
