Rotebro, Municipal district in Sollentuna Municipality, Sweden
Rotebro is a municipal district in Sollentuna Municipality in Uppland consisting of two main areas, Rotsunda and Gillbo, separated by a railway line. The two sections together form a residential area in the northern part of the municipality.
The location was the site of the Battle of Rotebro in 1497, where Danish forces under Hans of Denmark defeated troops loyal to Sten Sture the Elder. This event shaped political developments in the region for years to come.
The name Rotebro comes from a bridge that crossed a strait and served as a gathering place during times of conflict. This origin reflects how strategically important this location was for the region.

The area is home to three golf courses and Rotebro IS, a sports club with sections for football, floorball, and orienteering. This active sporting culture shapes community life in the district.
