Laurențiu Dumitru Roșu (born 26 October 1975) is a Romanian retired footballer who played as either a forward or winger.
After four seasons at Steaua București, he played nine years as a professional in Spain – eight in the two major levels, where he amassed totals of 222 games and 44 goals – representing three clubs, mostly Recreativo.
Roșu gained nearly 40 caps for Romania, representing the nation at Euro 2000.
Born in Iaşi, Roșu started playing football with local FC Politehnica. Not yet 18, he moved to country giants FC Steaua București, where he would spend the following seven years, winning five Liga I championships.
In his first season, Roșu only featured in four league matches, but after his direct competitor was sold he blossomed into a top flight player, scoring six goals in 31 games in the 1994–95 campaign and netting a combined 27 in his last two as the team finished third on both occasions. Previously, in 1997–98, as Steaua again lifted the league trophy (with three goals from the player), it became the first club in the country after World War II to conquer the national title for six consecutive years.
With Roșu on board, Steaua became the first Romanian side to reach the UEFA Champions League group stage phase, in the 1994–95 season, as he left in 2000 with 159 games played in the first division, all with the same team. He also managed to win three Romanian Cups, adding 43 games and four goals in European competition.
