Rous County is one of the 141 cadastral divisions of New South Wales. It is located at the north-east tip of the state. It is bordered on the north by the border with Queensland and on the south by the Richmond River. It contains Lismore, Byron Bay and Murwillumbah. Note that Rous County should not be confused with Rous County Council, which despite the common name is a legally distinct entity, covering a separate (albeit overlapping) geographical area, the Rous county district.

Rous County was named in honour of Admiral Henry John Rous (1795-1877).
