Roa is a Spanish town and municipality in the south of the province of Burgos. It has a population of roughly 3,000 people. The closest airport is in Valladolid.

Roa is the seat of the Regulatory Council for the Designation of Origin (D.O.) Ribera del Duero wine region.

A dish called "Lechazo" is a local speciality. This is roast baby lamb and is usually served with a basic salad and lots of "torta" bread for dipping in the meat juices.
