Rubyvale is a rural town and locality in the Central Highlands Region, Queensland, Australia.[2][3] In the 2021 census, the town of Rubyvale had a population of 518 people.[1]

Rubyvale was one of three towns within the locality of The Gemfields (the others being Sapphire and Anakie) until 17 April 2020, when the Queensland Government decided to replace The Gemfields with three new localities (Rubyvale, Sapphire Central and Anakie Siding) based around each of the three towns respectively. The boundaries of Argyll were also modified to accommodate the introduction of the locality of Rubyvale with an area of 337.1 square kilometres (130.2 sq mi).[4][5][6][7]
