Haus Roland, also called Schloss Roland, is a manor house in Düsseldorf-Rath with Neo-Renaissance architecture. Edwin Oppler designed the present building around 1893. It replaced an earlier Renaissance or Baroque castle, whose history reaches back to Burg Roland. That earlier estate appears in records from 1372.

The manor stands on a gentle hill near the Königsforst Aap, within a redesigned historic park. Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe created its English landscape garden after 1804. Baroque gardens first surrounded the property, while Heinrich Grube later reshaped the surrounding park. The design combines French, German, and Italian Renaissance elements. Artists and intellectuals of the Düsseldorf School of Painting visited Haus Roland during the nineteenth century. Norbert Burgmüller and August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben were among its guests. The nearby Düsseldorf-Grafenberg racecourse hosts the Schloss-Roland-Rennen, named for the manor. The site has held monument protection since 1988.
