Rosa Parks (4 Februari 1913 – 24 Oktober 2005) adalah aktivis hak asasi Afro-Amerika yang disebut oleh Kongres Amerika Serikat sebagai "Ibu pergerakan Hak Asasi Manusia Modern".

Pada tanggal 1 Desember 1955, Parks menjadi terkenal setelah menolak mematuhi perintah supir bus James Blake untuk memberikan kursinya agar seluruh ruangan hanya untuk penumpang kulit putih. Aksi ketidakpatuhan ini memulai Boikot Bus Montgomery, yang merupakan salah satu pergerakan terbesar melawan pemisahan ras.
