Rovina (Rowina) Hanna (1889 or 1892, Berezino, Igumen District, Minsk Governorate — 1980, Tel Aviv) — actress.

Hanna Rovina studied first in a reformed heder, and later in a Russian school. She then moved to Ekaterinoslav, where she worked giving lessons in Russian and served as a governess in wealthy families. During the First World War, she organized an orphan shelter in Saratov.

In 1917 she joined the theatre studio organized in Moscow by Nahum Zemach, becoming one of the founders of the Habima Theatre. Rovina gained fame for her role as Leah in the Hebrew translation of S. An-sky’s play The Dybbuk, which became the theatre’s first major production (1922), and for the role of the Mother of the Messiah in David Pinski’s play The Eternal Jew.

She performed these roles during Habima’s tours in Leningrad (1925), Riga (1926), and other cities in Europe and the United States.

Arriving with the troupe in 1928 in Eretz Israel, she became one of the leading actresses of the country. Among the roles she performed were: Mirele Efros (Mirele Efros by Jacob M. Gordin), Medea (Medea by Euripides), Cordelia (King Lear by William Shakespeare), Mother (The Mother by Karel Čapek), Mother Courage (Mother Courage and Her Children by Bertolt Brecht).

She remained active on stage until 1977.

Rovina received the Israel Prize (1956) and was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Philosophy by Tel Aviv University (1977).
