Rowlandville was a northwestern Philadelphia neighborhood along the Tacony Creek near present-day Wyoming Avenue. Most of the former neighborhood has been absorbed into present-day Feltonville.

Campbell's Old Towns and Districts of Philadelphia states:

Rowlandville lay along Fisher lane and the Tacony creek, under the Wyoming avenue viaduct, north of the junction with the Wingohocking creek. The Rowlands of Milltown (now Cheltenham) established the manufacture of wagon springs here in 1842; the factory, operated for years by William and Harvey Rowland, is gone, but Fisher lane still runs to the east, crossing the Tacony by a stone bridge (1796), and leading up the hill to Ramona avenue, near the Sears-Roebuck store. Wyoming Villa was near D and Wyoming avenue, at a point where Fisher lane ran north and south, northeast of Greenmount cemetery.
