Rubislaw is an area of Aberdeen, Scotland. It is located in the area between Queen's Road and King’s Gate, including Rubislaw Den North and South. It is close to Rubislaw Quarry and the Rubislaw Playing Fields used by Aberdeen Grammar School. The buildings of the area are primarily Victorian or 1930s.

Before becoming a suburb of the city, Rubislaw was a landed estate belonging to the Skene family. Their seat, Rubislaw House, stood on what is now Queen's Road and was of 17th century date. It was demolished in 1886 and succeeded by an elaborate Gothic villa of the same name.[1]
