Rose ffrench, 1st Baroness ffrench (died 8 December 1805), was anIrishpeeress.

The eldest daughter of Patrick Dillon ofRoscommon, she married on 25 June 1761 Sir Charles ffrench, 1st Baronet (cr.1779), who was later Mayor ofGalway. He died in 1784.

In 1798, Lady ffrench was createdBaroness ffrench, of Castle ffrench, County Galway, in recognition of the services of her son, Sir Thomas ffrench, 2nd Bt., who was a member of the Catholic Committee. Because she was nominallyProtestant, the creation was in keeping withKing George III's objection to elevatingCatholics to the peerage. Upon her decease, her Catholic sonSir Thomas inherited the barony.

The title and the family name are both spelled with alower-case double-'f'.
