A roof garden is a garden on the roof of a building. Besides the decorative benefit, roof plantings may provide food, temperature control, hydrological benefits, architectural enhancement, habitats or corridors for wildlife, recreational opportunities, and in large scale it may even have ecological benefits. The practice of cultivating food on the rooftop of buildings is sometimes referred to as rooftop farming. Rooftop farming is usually done using green roof, hydroponics, aeroponics or air dynaponics systems or container gardens.

From the beginning of recorded history, people have been building gardens on their roofs. From the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon to the Rockefeller Centre in New York, the roof garden has been a part of civilized society. Roof gardens have been used as extensions of living rooms, displays of wealth and social status, gathering grounds for the elite, and places to escape the summer heat. They have also been used as insulation, a means of flood control, a place to grow food, and as camouflage. Green roofs have been an essential feature of vernacular architecture and in many instances has been vital to human survival. Modern civilisation is slowly rediscovering the astonishing benefits of vegetated roofs.
