Rogóźno [rɔˈɡuʑnɔ] (German: Roggenhausen) is a village in Grudziądz County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Rogóźno.
The settlement lies in the historic Chełmno Land, approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi) north-east of Grudziądz and 60 km (37 mi) north of Toruń. In 2011 the village had a population of 946.
In 1226 Duke Konrad I of Masovia had called for the Teutonic Order to fight against the pagan Old Prussian tribes, and Emperor Frederick II ceded the lands east of the Vistula river to the Knights according to his Golden Bull of Rimini. The Order had a castle (Ordensburg) built at Groß-Rogis —present-day Rogóźno-Zamek— about 1275. Soon after, a parish church was erected near the fortress and a settlement arose. After the Thirteen Years' War 1454–66, the Chełmno region seceded from the State of the Teutonic Order and was incorporated into Chełmno Voivodeship of Royal Prussia, a fief of the Polish Crown.
