Rokeby, Tasmania, Australia, is a suburb of Hobart on the eastern shore of the Derwent River. It is part of the local government area of the City of Clarence.

Rokeby started as Rokeby House, a farmhouse in the clarence plains area, in the 19th century and was developed into a mainly public-housing suburb of Hobart in the 1970's, modeled after public housing projects that took place in the U.S.A in the 1950's, Along with the nearby suburb of Clarendon Vale . The area has been typically associated with high crime and unemployment, but this trend is beinning to reverse, probably in part due to increasing levels of home ownership during the Hobart housing market boom of 2002. Houses in the area that were valued in the low $20,000 range are now being valued at over seven times this figure. The area has a historic church, with a traditional british picket-fence cricket ground and the Rokeby Historic Trail .
