Marianne Rosenberg (b. March 10, 1955 Berlin) is a German Schlager music singer.

She is the fifth of seven children by Auschwitz survivor Otto Rosenberg, who was part Roma, and recorded her first song, Mr. Paul McCartney, after winning a talent contenst at age fourteen.

Her major hits include Fremder Mann, Er gehört zu mir (also recorded in English as How Can I Go Now?), Lieder der Nacht and Marleen, all of which were very successful in West Germany in the early and mid-1970s. She also achieved chart success in other European territories including Austria and the Netherlands. Due to her continued popularity, Rosenberg is also considered a gay icon in several countries, like the Netherlands and her native Germany.

In 2004, Rosenberg re-released Marleen in a remixed version and with a new promotional video, the single reached # 33 on the official German Charts as compiled by Media Control. The follow-up single Er Gehört Zu Mir reached # 77. Both singles were taken from her 2004 disco flavoured album Für Immer Wie Heute which reached # 12 on the German Album charts.
