Varnava Rosić (Serbian Cyrillic: Варнава Росић; September 11, 1880 – July 24, 1937) was the Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church from 1930 to 1937.

Varnava was a leading figure during the Concordat crisis, where the Serbian Orthodox bishops opposed the adoption of a concordat between the Holy See and Yugoslavia in the Yugoslav assembly.
