Rosenkopf is a municipality in Südwestpfalz district, in Rhineland-Palatinate, western Germany.

On 12 June 2011 a document surfaced that most likely points to Rosenkopf as the first German town to grant Adolf Hitler honorary citizenship (22 July 1932), not Bad Doberan, which had been generally confirmed as the town with that distinction.
