Rosalie is a former suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Since 1975, it has been a neighbourhood within the suburb of Paddington.

History

The name Rosalie is probably derived from the Rosalie Plains pastoral station leased by John Frederick McDougall, who also owned land in the Milton and Rosalie areas of Brisbane.

On Sunday 5 April 1884, a Baptist church opened in Rosalie, being described as a "neat little chapel" and was 20 by 20 feet (6.1 by 6.1 m). On Saturday 7 November 1925, a new Baptist church was opened.

Rosalie was subject to flooding in the 1890 Brisbane floods.

The lower parts of Rosalie were inundated in the 2011 Brisbane Floods.
