The Shire of Rosenthal was a Local Government Area south and west of the regional centre of Warwick in the Darling Downs region of Queensland. The shire, administered from Rosenthal Heights, a Warwick suburb, covered an area of convert|1984.1|km2|sqmi|1, and existed as a local government entity from 1886 until 1994, when it was dissolved and amalgamated with City of Warwick, Shire of Allora and Shire of Glengallan to form the Shire of Warwick.

History

The Rosenthal Division was created on 20 April 1886 under the "Divisional Boards Act 1879" out of parts of Glengallan. With the passage of the "Local Authorities Act 1902", it became a Shire on 31 March 1903. Its offices were located at Willi Street, Rosenthal Heights.

On 21 November 1991, the Electoral and Administrative Review Commission, created two years earlier, produced its second report, and recommended that local government boundaries in the Warwick area be rationalised, and that the Shire be merged with the Shires of Glengallan and Allora and the City of Warwick to form a new Shire of Warwick. The "Local Government (Allora, Glengallan, Rosenthal and Warwick) Regulation 1994" was gazetted on 20 May 1994. On 25 June, an election was held for the new council, and on 1 July 1994, Rosenthal passed out of existence.
