Santa Rosa de Lima is a municipality in La Unión Department of El Salvador.

The city is located between the Pacific Ocean plains and the northern mountains of the country. It is situated on a sloppy area south of the San Sebastian Peak, known for its gold ores. There is a small river the meanders through the city. This river is contaminated with oxides from the ex gold mine up north, trash, and sewage from the city. The stream is mostly dry during summer but it swells through the winter. 30 kilometers to the west of the city lies the larger city of San Miguel, the third-largest city of the country, and 50 kilometers to the south lies the port city of La Union.
