Ricardo Rosset (born 27 July 1968) is a Brazilian racing driver. He participated in 33 Formula One Grands Prix, making his debut at the 1996 Australian Grand Prix. He scored no championship points and eventually quit Formula One to focus on developing a sportswear business in Brazil.
After graduating from the Formula Opel Euroseries, Rosset competed in the British Formula 3 Championship in 1993 for Alan Docking Racing. He finished joint sixth in the standings, tied with Pedro de la Rosa, with his best finish being one second place at Silverstone. Rosset moved to the AJS team in 1994, and improved to fifth in the standings in a season dominated by Jan Magnussen. He won his first F3 race that year at Snetterton, albeit on an occasion where Magnussen retired.
Rosset made his début in International Formula 3000 with the Super Nova Racing team in 1995. His team-mate was the more experienced Vincenzo Sospiri, who won the drivers' championship that year. In 1995 Rosset came 2nd to his teammate,- winning two races – including his first ever F3000 race – and finished second in the championship.
Rosset was hired by Footwork in 1996 as team-mate to Jos Verstappen, but never matched the Dutch driver's pace (Verstappen was quicker in qualifying for all the races), although the team largely stopped development on the car when Tom Walkinshaw bought it.
