The Rosses (officially known by its Irish language name, Na Rosa; in the genitive case Na Rosann) is a traditional 'district' in the west of County Donegal in Ulster, the northern province in Ireland. The Rosses has a population of over 7,000 centred on the town of Dungloe, which acts as the educational, shopping and civic centre for the area. Defined by physical boundaries in the form of rivers, as well as history and language use, the area has a distinctive identity, separate from the rest of County Donegal. The extensive district lies between the parish and district of Gweedore to the north and the town of Glenties to the south. A large part of the Rosses is in the Gaeltacht, which means that Irish is the spoken language. The Rosses, Cloughaneely and Gweedore, known locally as "the three parishes", with 16,000 Irish speakers, together form a social and cultural region different from the rest of the county, with Gweedore serving as the main centre for socialising and industry. Gaeltacht an Láir is another Irish-speaking area.

The Rosses (officieel Na Rosa) is een gebied in de Ierse County Donegal. De streek wordt begrensd door fysieke grenzen in de vorm van rivieren, maar ook door zijn geschiedenis en zijn taalgebruik, waardoor het gebied een volledig eigen identiteit heeft. Een groot deel van The Rosses ligt in de Gaeltacht. Dit betekent dat het Iers er de spreektaal is, alhoewel het gebruik ervan wel in verval is.
