Count Hans Robert von Rosen (8 August 1888 – 2 September 1952) was a Swedish Army captain and horse rider who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics and in the 1920 Summer Olympics.

Career

In 1912, he and his horse Lord Iron were part of the Swedish equestrian team, which won the gold medal in the team jumping.

Eight years later, he won the gold medal with the Swedish jumping team again, this time with his horse Poor Boy. He also competed in the individual dressage event and won the bronze medal with his horse Running Sister.

von Rosen became ryttmästare in 1925 and equerry at the Royal Court of Sweden the same year.
