Dinah Rose, QC is a British human rights barrister. A member of Blackstone Chambers, she was named Barrister of the Year in The Lawyer Awards 2009. In 2016, she was appointed a Deputy Judge of the High Court.

Rose was educated at City of London School for Girls and at Magdalen College, Oxford. She was called to the bar at Gray's Inn in 1989 and took silk in 2006. In a July 2009 interview with The Lawyer, she referred to Lord Lester, QC as a "mentor" and described Lord Pannick QC as a "huge influence".

She has appeared in many high-profile human rights cases, including representing "extraordinary rendition" victim Binyam Mohamed at his Court of Appeal hearing.

Rose also worked on the judicial review of the Attorney General's decision to drop the investigation into alleged bribes of Saudi officials by BAE Systems.

Rose represented the family of a child who had been denied a place at the prominent Jewish comprehensive school, JFS (school), because his mother was not recognized as Jewish by the Office of the Chief Rabbi. The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom ruled that the denial of a place constituted unlawful race discrimination.

She appeared for Julian Assange in Assange v The Swedish Judicial Authority before the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, in his unsuccessful appeal against extradition to Sweden.
