Rokeby is a suburb of Hobart, capital of Tasmania, Australia on the eastern shore of the Derwent River.

Rokeby started as Rokeby House, a farmhouse in the area then known as Clarence Plains, in the 19th century and along with the nearby suburb of Clarendon Vale was developed into a mainly public-housing suburb of Hobart in the 1970s.

Clarence Plains Post Office opened on 20 November 1850 and was renamed Rokeby in 1882.

[2] The area has been typically associated with high crime and unemployment, but this trend is beginning to reverse, probably in part due to increasing levels of home ownership during the Hobart housing market boom of 2002.

It attracted national and international professional skateboarders in a competition held there in January 2009, with $50,000 prize money on offer.
