Roxborough is a Northwest Philadelphia neighborhood, located above the Falls of the Schuylkill River, between the river and the Wissahickon Creek.

The neighborhood was reportedly named after the Wissahickon Hermit Cave, which was referred to as "Rocks burrow" by the followers of religious mystic Johannes Kelpius. Over time, the spelling of the neighborhood's name was Anglicized and became "Roxborough".

Roxborough is adjoins or intersects Andorra to the north. It is north and northwest of Manayunk.
