Rose Repetto (10 August 1907 – 11 March 1982) was an Italian-born French business owner and shoe designer.
In the early 1920s, she moved to Paris where she met and dated restaurant owner Edmond Petit.
In 1947, Repetto started designing ballet shoes after her son would come home from classes complaining of sore feet.
She developed ballet flats for Brigitte Bardot in 1956 for the film And God Created Woman.
