Rosaura Revueltas (ca. 1909 – April 30, 1996) was a Mexican star of screen and stage, and a dancer, author and teacher.

Revueltas was born in Ciudad Lerdo, Durango, to an artistic family; her brothers included composer Silvestre, writer José, and painter Fermín . She studied acting and ballet in Mexico City, and made many movies in Mexico. During the filming of her one U.S. film, Salt of the Earth
, about striking Mexican-American miners in New Mexico, she was arrested and deported back to Mexico. Afterwards, she was put on Hollywood blacklist for her role in the film.

She worked in Germany, in Brecht's theater, and in Cuba. Her semi-autobiographical book, The Revueltas, about her family members, came out in 1979. In her later years, she served as a judge in film festivals in Berlin, Germany and Barcelona, Spain, and taught yoga in Mexico.

She died at her home in Cuernavaca, Morelos, after a long illness. She was approximately 86 years old.
