Renée Roca (born May 18, 1963) is an American ice dancer and choreographer. She is a three-time U.S. national champion with different partners. Competing with partner Donald Adair, she is the 1986 U.S. national champion. She later teamed up with Russian skater Gorsha Sur, with whom she is the 1993 and 1995 U.S. national champion.
Early in her career, Roca competed with Andrew Ouellette. She later teamed up with Donald Adair. Their most successful season was 1985–86, in which they won 1985 Skate Canada International, 1985 Skate America and the 1986 U.S. national title. She also achieved her highest World placement, 6th at the 1986 World Championships. The following season, they won the U.S. silver medal. He decided to retire ten days before the 1987 World Championships, stunning Roca who had hoped to qualify for the 1988 Winter Olympics.
After that partnership ended, Judy Blumberg and Brian Boitano helped pair Roca with Jim Yorke. Roca and Yorke placed 4th at the 1988 U.S. Championships. They withdrew from the 1989 event.
Roca left competition and began working as a skating choreographer. She choreographed the free program Jill Trenary used to win the 1990 World Championships.
