Die Rotsgebergte (Engels: Rocky Mountains, Frans: Montagnes Rocheuses, Spaans: Montañas Rocosas) is 'n uitgebreide bergreeks in Noord-Amerika wat van Alaska dwarsdeur Kanada en die Verenigde State tot by Meksiko strek. Dit bestaan eintlik uit 'n aantal ewewydige reekse wat deur komme en plato's van mekaar geskei word. Die bergreeks dien as 'n afbakening van verskillende klimaatgebiede tussen die weste en ooste, maar aangesien dit langs die weskus strek laat dit koue fronte van die arktiese gebiede tot ver in die suide van die vasteland voorkom. Die noorde van die reeks kry gereeld sneeu en is met ysvelde bedek, terwyl die suidelike gedeelte baie droog en woestynagtig is. Die totale lengte van die bergreeks is sowat 5 100 km, en die grootste enkele bergspits is die 4 399 m (14 433 vt) hoë piek Mount Elbert in Colorado, Verenigde State.

Belangrike riviere wat in die Rotsgebergte ontspring sluit in die Coloradorivier, die Missouririvier, die Rio Grande en die Yukonrivier.

Die gebied is yl bevolk, met toerisme in die talle nasionale parke en waterkragsentrales as belangrikste ekonomiese basis. Franse ontdekkers - sogenaamde voyageurs - baan hulle weg in die 17de eeu vanuit Montreal tot teenaan die Rotsgebergte: die bergreeks bly egter tot in die 19de eeu 'n groot natuurlike hindernis vir die setlaars wat weswaarts trek.
