Roxboro is an inner city residential neighbourhood in the south-west quadrant of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It is bounded to the north and west by the Elbow River and to the south by 33 Avenue S. West of Roxboro, in a bend of the Elbow River, lies the community of "Rideau Park".

Rideau Park was established in 1911, and Roxboro in 1923. Buildings from that period still stand today. Both were designated as communities of the city in 1967. It is represented in the Calgary City Council by Ward 11 Alderman Brian Pincott.
