Sydne Rome (born March 17, 1951) is an American actress. Her first name is often misspelled Sydney or Sidney.

Born in Akron, Ohio, Rome grew up in Upper Sandusky, where her father was a successful top-level business manager. She started her career as early as 1969 in the British movie Some Girls Do. She then appeared in a series of Italian films, often playing the young, seemingly innocent American abroad, and also in some spaghetti westerns. Subsequently she also made forays into the German film and television market.

In the early 1980s, alongside Jane Fonda, Rome became an icon of the aerobics craze and published several workout videos. As a singer, she recorded the single "Angelo prepotente" (1980) for the Italian market and also released English ("For You") and German ("Wozu") versions of this song. She also recorded a cover version of Marty Balin's hit "Hearts".

In 1973 she married Emilio Lari. She has been living in Italy since the early 1970s.
