Rodinia (ex Russico родить 'parere'^[1]) in geologia est supercontinens, continens qui plurimas vel omnes terras emersas continuit. Secundum refectiones laminarum tectonicarum, Rodinia tempore abhinc annorum inter 1.1 billiones et 750 milliones existitit, aera Neoproterozoica. Natus est circa 1.0 Ga^? per accretionem et concursum fragmentorum a dissolutione vetustioris supercontinentis, Columbiae, effecta.^[2][3] Rodinia in animo populari est unus ex duobus magnis historiae Telluris supercontinentibus, quorum alius est Pangaea.^[4]
