Criterion Hotel, Rockhampton, Heritage listed hotel in Rockhampton, Australia.

The Criterion Hotel is a three-story brick structure at 150 Quay Street in Rockhampton with ornate facades facing both Quay and Fitzroy Streets. The ground floor contains a restaurant and function spaces, while upper levels provide 20 air-conditioned rooms with television and complimentary WiFi.

The first hotel on this site was Richard Parker's Bush Inn, built about 1857 and renamed the Criterion in 1862 by licensee John Ward. Dorinda Curtis, Parker's daughter, had the present three-storey brick building erected in 1889–1890 to James Flint's design; Sydney contractor Robert Kirkham's tender of £10,000 was accepted. The Curtis family ran the hotel until 1947.

The hotel's name comes from the Criterion, the licence John Ward took over from the Bush Inn in 1862. The Curtis family, beginning with Dorinda Ann Parker and George Silas Curtis, ran the house until 1947, and Dorinda is credited with commissioning the 1889 rebuilding.

The Criterion Hotel stands on the corner of Quay and Fitzroy Streets, a short walk from the Fitzroy River quay and Rockhampton's central streets. The three-storeyed masonry building is entered from the street corner; its upper floors are reached by stair. Tenders for the building were called on 5 March 1889, and the Sydney contractor Robert Kirkham won the job at £10,000.
