St Aubins, Rockhampton, Heritage-listed building in West Rockhampton, Australia.

St Aubins is a detached brick house at 75 Canoona Road, West Rockhampton, built around 1889. Its handmade bricks came from John Rodekirchen's Lion Creek kilns, and the house has two external rendered brick staircases: the main one facing west and a second to the south facing the former pit and kilns. Two date palms stand on the property.

Johann Rodekirchen, a German immigrant and brickmaker, built the house in 1889 near his clay operation at Lion Creek. The residence emerged during a period when German craftsmen were developing Rockhampton's building trades.

The house was named St Aubins by a later owner, not by its builder John Rodekirchen. Its handmade bricks carry the frog "Rodekirchen Rockhampton", fired in the Lion Creek kilns on the adjoining site. Rodekirchen's granddaughter Ethel Lloyd recalled in 1988 that neighbours helped with firings that ran through the night.

St Aubins stands at 75 Canoona Road, West Rockhampton, and is a private residence, so it is not open for tours and the interior cannot be visited. The house can be seen from the street; the site adjoins the remains of the Lion Creek clay pit and brickworks. The two date palms on the western boundary are still in place.
