Roskear is a street and area on the eastern edge of Camborne, Cornwall. In the early 1900s, the area had a tram loop[citation needed].

Roskear is known in the 2000s mostly for its cricket ground, which is located off South Roskear Terrace. The ground is built on the site of the former North Roskear Mine, and is surrounded on all sides by housing. The ground has previously acted as a home ground for Cornwall County Cricket Club and has been the home of Camborne Cricket Club since 1905.[1][2]
