Rosalie Alberta Rayner (September 25, 1898 – June 18, 1935) was an undergraduate psychology student, then research assistant (and later wife) of Johns Hopkins University psychology professor John B.

In the 1920s, she published essays and co-authored articles and a book with Watson about child development and familial bonds.
