Ramona Pop (born 31 October 1977 in Timișoara, Romania) is a German politician and member of the Alliance '90/The Greens party. Since 8 December 2016, she is a mayor of Berlin and Senator for Economy, Energy and Enterprises (Senatorin für Wirtschaft, Energie und Betriebe).

Pop grew up in Romania until her family, which had German origins, moved to Germany in 1988. In 1997 she completed high school. Pop studied Political Sciences in Münster and Free University Berlin and graduated there at Otto-Suhr-Institut.

Pop has been a member of the Green party since 1997. In the 2001 state elections, she was elected into the Abgeordnetenhaus of Berlin. In parliament, she first served as the Green Party’s parliamentary group on youth policies. From 2009, she led the parliamentary group alongside Volker Ratzmann. Pop succeeded Renate Künast as leading candidate after Künast had made mistakes in the election campaign for 2011 Berlin state elections.

As one of her state's representatives at the Bundesrat, Pop serves on the Committee on Economic Affairs.

Pop was a Green Party delegate to the Federal Convention for the purpose of electing the President of Germany in 2017.
