Rose Wilder Lane (1886-1968) was an American author and daughter of author Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Rose Wilder Lane was born in De Smet, Dakota Territory, the first (and only surviving) child of Laura and Almanzo Wilder. She became a well-known reporter, columnist, and novelist, and her active career as a writer began around 1910 and extended until the Vietnam War, for which she was a war correspondent. She married Claire Gillette Lane in 1909, and they had one child, a boy, who died shortly after birth in 1910. She and her husband divorced in 1918.
