Rosewood is a small town in the Lockyer Valley, Queensland, Australia. It is located 60km west of the Brisbane CBD in the Ipswich City Council area and is the terminus of QR Citytrain's Rosewood railway line. Rosewood Railway Station provides Citytrain commuter rail services to Ipswich and Brisbane via Ipswich.

The origin of the suburb name is from the Rosewood (Acacia harpophylla) tree. [ [http://www.nrw.qld.gov.au/property/placenames/detail.php?id=29071 Place name details ] ]

The New Oakleigh Mine is located close to the town. This is the last remaining coal mine in the area.

The first coal mine in the Lanefield district, west of Rosewood, commenced production in 1918. As part of these workings, two railway branches from the Brisbane to Toowoomba main line were constructed to the mines at Lanefield Colliery (1934 to 1965) and Westvale Colliery (1929 to 1960) ["Colliery Branches of the Lanefield District" Milne, Rod Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin, March, 1987, pp62-66] .
