Rockwell Green is a village in Wellington parish, Somerset, England. It lies about {{Convert|1.4|km|4=0|order=flip}} south-west of the town, separated from it by some open land.
The obelisk of the Wellington Monument is visible from almost everywhere in the village.
Rockwell Green has a railway bridge, under which a steam train, the City of Truro, was first recorded travelling at over 100 mph (160 km/h) in 1904. Although this has been the subject of much debate since then, recent research supports the claim.{{cite journal| last = Andrews| first = David| title = Special Experimental Tests: more pieces of the City of Truro puzzle| journal = Backtrack| volume = 22| issue = 2| pages = 116–121| publisher = Pendragon Publishing | date = 2008}}
Two large water towers, both disused, bring a small number of visitors to the village. The older (redbrick) tower was built in the late 19th century and includes a circular steel tank. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building.{{NHLE|num=1237483|desc=Water Tower (easternmost of pair)|accessdate=2008-07-15}} The more recent concrete tower was built in the 1930s.{{NHLE|num=1059879|desc= Water Tower (westernmost of pair)|accessdate=2008-07-15}}
A number of houses in the original village are council-owned. In 1991 the population was estimated at 1,618. Since then more houses have been built and the population estimate from the 2001 census was 2,246. The population estimate in 2016 was 2,945.{{cite web|title=Rockwell Green|url=https://www.citypopulation.de/php/uk-england-southwestengland.php?cityid=E35001317|publisher=City Population|accessdate=9 December 2017}}
The village has a butcher's shop, one pub, a fish and chip shop, a post office, a general store, a church, a beauty salon/hairdressers, a primary school and pre-school, a village hall, and a post office; before moving to Exeter Road the post office was on the east side of Rockwell Green, in a 19th-century building that has since been demolished.{{Cite web|url=https://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=1420811&resourceID=8|title=Rockwell Green Post Office|website=Heritage Gateway|accessdate=6 August 2019}}
