Camilla de Rossi (fl. 1670–1710) was an Italian composer of the Baroque period, notable for her contributions to music in Northern Italy and Austria. Despite the lack of extensive biographical information, she is recognized for having the most surviving works among women composers of her time. The only known detail about her life is her Roman citizenship, as she signed her manuscripts as Romana, indicating her Roman descent. Rossi composed four oratorios for solo voices and orchestra, all commissioned by Emperor Joseph I of Austria, and these works were performed in the Imperial Chapel in Vienna.
