Rosana dos Santos Augusto (born on 7 July 1982), commonly known as Rosana, is a Brazilian football left back or left winger who plays for the North Carolina Courage in the National Women's Soccer League. She has previously played professionally for teams in Austria, France, Norway and the United States. Since making her debut for the Brazil women's national football team in June 2000, she has won over a century of caps. She has participated in four FIFA Women's World Cups and four editions of the Olympic Games.

Rosana played for several years in Brazil before moving to Austria in 2004. There she played as a left winger for SV Neulengbach. In 2005–06 she was the ÖFB-Frauenliga's top goal scorer, with 26 goals.

At the 2008 WPS International Draft Rosana was selected by Sky Blue FC of Women's Professional Soccer (WPS). In her first season she scored five goals from a central playmaking role. Team-mate Yael Averbuch questioned Rosana's defensive capabilities: "for some reason, whenever we meet about defending, the usually quite fluent Rosana no longer speaks or understands English!"
