Rothesay Herald of Arms in Ordinary is a current Scottish herald of arms. The office was created after 1398 when the dukedom of Rothesay was conferred on David, eldest son of King Robert III, on 28 April 1398. This was the first ducal creation ever granted in Scotland.

The badge of office is "Two Fleurs-de-lis Gules surmounted of a three point Label chequy Azure and Argent and ensigned of the Crown of Scotland proper."

The current Rothesay Herald of Arms in Ordinary is Sir Crispin Agnew of Lochnaw, Bt., QC.
