Braun Roza Petrovna (born 30 May 1916, Daugavpils – date and place of death unknown) – lawyer and economist; possibly a victim of political repression in the USSR.

Roza Braun was born into a white-collar family. In 1939, she graduated from the Faculty of Economics and Law of the Latvian State University with a law degree. While studying, from 1935 to 1939, she worked as a cashier at the Riga Loan and Savings Cooperative. From 1939 to 1940, she was an accountant at the warehouse of the textile factory Lenta. In 1940–41, she served as senior legal adviser to the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Latvian SSR.

From July 1941 to March 1942, Roza Braun worked as a labourer on a collective farm in the village of Bolshaya Urya, Kansky District, Krasnoyarsk Krai. From March to June 1942, she was employed as a labourer and later as a clerk at the suburban state farm of Kansk. Between 1942 and 1946, she worked as a bookkeeper at the Put Okhotnika (Path of the Hunter) collective farm (Ostyatskoye village), and from 1946 to 1956, as a senior economist in the planning and finance department of the Kansk Municipal Trade Directorate.

In 1956, she returned to Latvia. Until 1961, she was employed as an economist at the Riga Inter-Republican Base of the Central Cooperative Trade Administration (Glavkoopkhozttorg). From 1961 to 1970, she headed the planning and finance department of the Printing Industry Directorate of the Press Committee under the Council of Ministers of the Latvian SSR.
