Rogliano /roʎˈʎano/ is a commune in the Haute-Corse department of France on the island of Corsica.
It is the seat of Capobianco Canton, which it shares with Barrettali, Cagnano, Centuri, Ersa, Luri, Meria, Morsiglia, Pino and Tomino. The people of Rogliano are called Roglianais, feminine Roglianaises.
Administratively, Rogliano replaces two historic communes, San-Columbano to the south and Chiapella to the north.
Rogliano is 40 kilometers (25 mi) to the north of Bastia at the northeast corner of Cap Corse. The commune is actually a cluster of eight hamlets on the slopes and heights of Monte Poggio above Macinaggio Bay, the one from which the commune takes its name being located 7 kilometers (4 mi) up a winding road from the port, the Chemin de l'Imperatrice (Route D80), which is named after the empress, Eugénie. Forced to stop there by a storm in 1869 she found the road so bad she personally ordered it reconstructed. The other hamlets are Bettolacce, Olivo, Magna, Soprana, Vignale, Sottana and Campiano.
The commune borders the sea to the north and to the east. On the east coast is Macinaggio Bay, including a marina of 585 moorings for pleasure boats (of which 255 are for transients and the others for wintering over), a nautical club and a diving school. A little to the north, Tamarone Bay opens on the small Finocchiarola ("Fennel") Islands. They are protected by the Réserve Naturelle du Conservatoire du Littorala, a nature reserve, especially for safeguarding the rare Audouin's gull and Cory's shearwater, both of which breed there. It occupies about 654 hectares (1,620 acres).
