Rogne is a village in Øystre Slidre Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. The village is located on the eastern shore of a large lake called the Volbufjorden, a short distance to the southeast of the villages of Heggenes, Moane, and Volbu. The village is the site of a local school as well as the Rogne Church.[2]

Just east of Rogne is a large slate quarry, Norwegian: Valdres Skiferbrud, that has been operating for over 250 years. A sculpture memorial was built in Rogne by the sculptor Gunnar Rørhus for the purpose of honoring all the slate workers who have lived in the village over the centuries.[3]
