Rogue is a 2007 Australian horror film written and directed by Greg McLean. Starring Michael Vartan, Radha Mitchell and Sam Worthington, it follows a group of tourists in Australia who fall prey to a giant, 25 ft (7.6 m) man-eating saltwater crocodile.

The film was inspired by the true story of Sweetheart, a giant male saltwater crocodile that attacked boats in the late 1970s, although Sweetheart was never responsible for an attack on a human. Rogue received positive reviews from critics, but was a commercial failure.

It is the second and last film from Dimension Films to have the involvement of Village Roadshow Pictures, the other being 1992's Fortress.
