Raffaele Rossi, OCD (28 October 1876 – 17 September 1948), born Carlo Rossi, was an Italian cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church who served as the Secretary of the Sacred Consistorial Congregation in the Roman Curia from 1930 until his death. Upon admittance into the Carmelites he selected the name of "Raffaele of Saint Joseph". Pope Pius XI elevated him into the cardinalate in 1930.
His cause of canonization has begun and he is known as a Servant of God. One miracle attributed to him is now under investigation.
Raffaele Rossi was born in Pisa in 1876 and he entered the Discalced Carmelites on 3 October 1887. He made his profession on 19 December 1899. He was ordained to the priesthood on 21 December 1901, after he completed his studies at the Carmelite International College and Carmelite Scholasticate in Rome. He then taught at Carmelite houses of studies from 1902 to 1920.
On 22 April 1920 he was appointed as the Bishop of Volterra by Pope Benedict XV. He received his episcopal consecration on May 25, 1920 from Cardinal Gaetano de Lai, with Archbishop Rinaldo Rousset, OCD, and Bishop Pio Bagnoli, OCD, serving as the co-consecrators. It was celebrated in the church of 'Santa Teresa al Corso d'Italia.
