Rosedale is a town in central Queensland, Australia. The town is in the Gladstone Region local government area, 423 kilometres (263 mi) north of the state capital Brisbane and 58 kilometres (36 mi) north west of the regional centre of Bundaberg. At the 2011 census, Rosedale and the surrounding area had a population of 448.[1] Facilities in the town include a pub and a general store.[2] The town also has a P–12 school catering for students from Rosedale, Lowmead, Agnes Water, 1770, Winfield and Yandaran.[3]

The town is on the North Coast railway line. In 2004, a north-bound tilt train derailed injuring 120 passengers.[4]

Despite the town being in the Gladstone Region local government area, Rosedale is closer to Bundaberg. There has been some interest in the Rosedale community regarding breaking away from the Gladstone Region.[5]
