Roud is a hamlet on the Isle of Wight in southern England. According to the Post Office the population of the hamlet as at the 2011 census was included in the civil parish of Godshill.

The name probably means '(the place at) the reed-bed', from Old English hrēod. The reed-bed is probably referring to the Eastern Yar, which runs through the hamlet. Rowde in Wiltshire has the same origin.
