Rostock Heath is a wood and heathland region northeast of the German city of Rostock. It has a total area of about 6000 hectares and, since 1252, has been owned by the Hanseatic city of Rostock.
As a result of its ownership of the Rostock Heath, Rostock is today one of the five largest communal woodland owners in Germany.
