Rosa López (b. January 14, 1981 in Granada), also known as Rosa, or Rosa de España, is a Spanish singer and dancer. Her musical career began when she sang with a small orchestra at parties in the Granada area[citation needed]. She was chosen to participate in the Spanish television series Operación Triunfo' winning the first season of the competition in 2001.

López competed in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002 in Tallinn, the reward for the winner of Operación Triunfo. She was placed seventh with her performance of "Europe's Living a Celebration" earning 81 points.

Noted for her fluctuating weight, in early 2006 López surprised critics and fans alike when she unveiled a new, trim figure in time to compete in a televised dance competition series entitled ¡Mira quién baila! (Look Who's Dancing), a variation of Strictly Come Dancing, which she ended up winning.
