A Rostra (em italiano: Rostri) era uma grande plataforma construída na cidade de Roma, erguida durante os períodos republicano e imperial da cidade. O termo "rostro" (Rostrum), que se refere a um pódio utilizado para se fazer um discurso ou pronunciamento, deriva do nome da estrutura; o orador se colocava diante de um Rostrum, sobre a Rostra. Posteriormente, diversas rostra passaram a existir, tanto na própria cidade de Roma quanto ao redor da república e, posteriormente, do império.
