Rogue (originally Rogue Pictures) is an American film distributor founded in 1998 by Matt Wall and Patrick Gunn. It originally started off as a genre film label of the Universal Pictures-affiliated independent film studio October Films and was based in Universal City, California.

It was owned by October Films from 1998 to 1999, after which October was sold to USA Networks and merged with Interscope Communications and Gramercy Pictures to form USA Films. In 2004, Rogue was revived by Focus Features, which retained the studio until 2009, when it was acquired by Relativity Media, which declared its second and final bankruptcy in 2018.
