Rogerstone (Welsh: Tŷ du, meaning "Black house") is a large village and community (parish) in Newport, Wales. The area is governed by Newport City Council. The village falls within the ancient parish of Bassaleg and historic county of Monmouthshire.

The parish lies at the gateway to the Sirhowy valley, to the north of Newport on the eastern side of the Ebbw River.[2] It is bounded by the M4 motorway to the south, the Ebbw River to the west, the Henllys Vale to the east and the city boundary with Caerphilly county borough to the north.

Rogerstone railway station is on the Ebbw Valley Railway. It opened on 6 February 2008 and links Ebbw Vale to Cardiff Central and Newport via Rogerstone. Pye Corner railway station, to the south of the ward and on the same line, was opened on 14 December 2014.
