Roto is a small settlement situated in the far-west of New South Wales, Australia. It lies at the junction of the Broken Hill railway line and the partly closed branchline to Temora via Griffith. At the 2016 census, Roto and the surrounding area had a population of 41.[1]

A small railway station opened at the site in 1919,[2] however is now closed. The property itself is 123,000 acres (50,000 hectares) of mixed farming.

A property nearby to the Roto homestead was the childhood home of two-time Australian off-road motorcycle racing champion Toby Price.
