Mario De Rosa was an Italian actor and production manager known for his work in Italian genre cinema during the 1960s through the 1980s.

Born on February 4, 1920, in Rome, Italy, he began his career in film during the postwar era and contributed to various low-budget productions, often taking on both on-screen roles and key behind-the-scenes positions. He appeared as an actor in films spanning Spaghetti Westerns, erotic dramas, thrillers, and horror pictures, while also serving as production manager, writer, and producer on several projects. His acting credits include roles in “The Archangel” (1969), “Blood Relations” (1970), and “Paid in Blood” (1971), while he also worked as a writer and production manager on “Suggestionata” (1978). De Rosa's involvement in these films reflected the prolific output of Italian commercial cinema during that period, where he often handled multiple responsibilities on set. De Rosa continued working sporadically into the 1990s and died on May 6, 2006, in Rome.

Mario De Rosa appeared in ten films between 1968 and 1990; he also worked in production on seven films from 1971 to 1978 and was a writer on two films in 1971 and 1978.
