Rogowo [rɔˈɡɔvɔ] is a village (formerly a town) in Żnin County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.^[1] It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Rogowo. It lies approximately 15 kilometres (9 mi) south of Żnin and 50 km (31 mi) south-west of Bydgoszcz. The village has an approximate population of 2,000.

Its history can be traced back to 1311, but it was in 1380 when Rogowo received town rights. These rights were lost on March 23, 1933.

Rogowo is home to the field hockey team Ludowy Klub Sportowy (LKS) Rogowo. Many of its players played in the national polish team in many international events.

Rogowo is surrounded by many lakes, which offer great attractions mostly to fisherman and campers. The biggest attraction is the newly established Dinosaur Theme Park, Zaurolandia, which opened in April 2007.
