Rosenallis (historically Rossinallis, from Irish: Ros Fhionnghlaise, meaning "wood of the clear stream")[1] is a village in north County Laois, Ireland. It is in the foothills of the Slieve Bloom Mountains on the R422 Mountmellick to Birr road.
Rosenallis is also important in the history of the Quaker movement, with William Edmundson, founder of the Quakers in Ireland, buried outside the village in the Friends graveyard. The village also has two churches (Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland) as well as a village school, community centre and small shops and pubs, typical of an Irish village.
Rosenallis GAA is the local Gaelic Athletic Association club.
