Kenneth Rose (born c. 1957) is the royal biographer of Great Britain.

Rose is an award winning writer, having won the prestigious Whitbread Book Award in the biography category in 1983 for his book, King George V . He shared that award with Victoria Glendinning , who won for her book Vita.

In April 2005, days before the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles, a British tabloid published that the couple were related, as ninth cousins, by way of Henry Cavendish, second duke of Newcastle. Rose said that, although the apparent familiarity between the two was not well established, a family connection was "perfectly factible".
