Roosebeck is a hamlet in the Unitary Authority of Westmorland and Furness, Cumbria, England, on the north west coast of Morecambe Bay. It is in the civil parish of Aldingham. [1]

Roosebeck is on the A5087 road, the coastal route from Ulverston to Barrow-in-Furness via Rampside.

A Wesleyan Methodist chapel was opened at Roosebeck in 1879, closed in 1962, and has since been demolished. [2] In 1870 seven human skeletons, arranged in two rows, and a celt (stone tool) were found at Roosebeck. [3]
